4.1.8 - 19th February 2016

Fixes

PRAC-843, PSD-176: OSCE, Candidate Feedback Reports did not reflect correctly pass/fail for the candidate under certain conditions

When exam results has been processed and Minimum items to pass settings has been set to value other then 0 on the Set Standard screen then Candidate Feedback Reports have been generated with false Pass for the Candidates who had been failed due to the Minimum items to pass settings. Results on the Set Standard & statistics for an exam have always been calculated correctly.

Candidate Feedback Report generator has been fixed to accurately reflect settings from the Set Standard screen.

 PRAC-863: OSCE, Options to customise Candidate Feedback Reports were not taken into account when generating the report

This issue only applies to reports generated for OSCE exams. Candidate Feedback Report provides customisation options to show or hide various information such as:

• • Include item breakdown
  • Include cohort average
  • Include number of questions
  • Include class average
  • Include questions overall

Unfortunately all options in italic have been ignored by the report generator and produced the same results regardless of the user selected settings. This is now fixed and report customisation works as expected.

4.1.7 - 26th January 2016

Fixes

• PSD-112: Problems importing SBA questions using CSV and XLSX formats
  
  • Unable to import CSV file on MS Windows platform
  • Unable to import CSV/XLSX file when it contained multiple columns with the same Dimension
  • Unable to import XLSX file when it contained empty rows (included in 4.1.4)

It is now possible to import CSV files on MS Windows platform without problems as well as XLSX files (correct format assumed).
Described problems here are connected to certain MS Windows platform and CSV/XLSX files with not entirely correct format.

4.1.6 - 26th January 2016

Fixes

• PSD-130: OSCE Reporting: Station Cut Score graph has been improved:
  • Cut score line is now rendered from the edge to edge of the graph
  • Cut score value is displayed above the cut score line
  • Borderline marker has been indicated in different colour from the Cut score line
• PSD-83, PSD-143: OSCE: Edit mark screen has been improved in order to accomodate for longer examiner text feedback. It is now possible to comfortably review the text feedback provided by examiners.

4.1.5 - 20th January 2016

Fixes

• PSD-170, PSD-152: Additional fix for the Special characters issue. Previous fix introduced in 4.1.4 didn't solve the issue completely.

4.1.4 - 17th January 2016

Fixes

• PSD-170, PSD-152: Inputing special characters such as Emoji, Currency symbols and other special characters result in Marksheet rejection by the Server and synchronisation errors on the iPads. Changes has been made to the Marksheet processing on the Server to correctly accept input from iPads including special characters.
