4.0.3 - 11th March 2016

Improvements

PRACIOS-122: OSCE - Unable to submit mark sheet when it defines mandatory question which uses schema without any answers

It is possible to create mark sheet question (of type Discrete) which uses schema without any answers defined. This is used (as a workaround) to add arbitrary text row to the mark sheet. Because such a question is just an ordinary question on the mark sheet editor it is possible make it mandatory - Practique will not stop users from doing so. This will however create marksheet which is not possible to submit on the iPads because iPad will require an answer for such a question.

iPad mark sheet validation has been updated so that it ignores questions (of type Discrete) which do not have any answers defined to protect against this situation.

Fixes

PRACIOS-69: WRITTEN - Certain questions were not rendered properly after device has been rotated

When device has been rotated while on the last or first question of the exam then subsequent navigation to previous/next question resulted in question text not being completely visible or the space for the question text become too large.

Question rendering has been fixed to reliably resize question text to fit screen size and resize reliably after device is rotated.

4.0.2 - 18th February 2016

• PRACIOS-113, PSD-191: Protect against possible rare conditions resulting in marks corruption
  We have identified possible scenario when marks could potentially be corrupted during input on the iPad device. Scenario is very rare and has been observed with 1/100 frequency and does depend on the setup of the concrete exam/marksheet as well as actions of the examiner and realtime exam status changes.
  Steps taken to mitigate the issue:
  • Marksheet code updated to minimise influence of the Examiner actions and Exam status changes
  • Added diagnostic information logging to verify issues does not occur again
• PRACIOS-98: Fixed rare application crash when user tried to open Application Details screen (using ) while iPad was disconnected from the WiFi
  This was due to the fact that the IP address of the device can not be determined. Application Details now opens and IP address is reported as "Unknown".
• PRACIOS-114: Fixed situation when User had to tap twice in order to de-select already selected option on the Marksheet.
  This now works as expected and single tap de-selectes previously selected option.
  In case User filled in the Marksheet and navigated to the Schedule screen and back to Marksheet where he/she wanted to de-select previously selected answer he would need to tap twice for the intended change to take effect. This issue only impacted situations where users had filled marks and navigated back to the Marksheet not when they were filling in the Marksheet in one session.

• PRACIOS-115, PSD-192: When Marksheet amendments are allowed do not display “You cannot reverse this action.” as part of the submit marks confirmation message

4.0.1 - 14th January 2016

• PSD-169: Unable to launch app in offline mode under certain circumstances.
