What's new

Configurable predefined exam durations

Institutions can now control how instructors enter exam durations through a new setting under Planning Page Settings. Two modes are available: free entry and predefined values. In predefined mode, administrators define between 1 and 10 allowed exam duration values in minutes. Instructors must then select from a dropdown rather than entering durations manually. The system validates that selected durations comply with the slot duration rule, ensuring at least 10 minutes remain for classroom evacuation. This feature is also supported through web services for external system integration.

Instructor field-level lock for self-service windows

When administrators define a time window that allows instructors to perform limited edits, institutional master data fields are now locked automatically. During the self-service window, instructors cannot modify structural fields such as Course Type, Lecture Count, Faculty, Program, Instructors, Grade, Section, or Campus. Section duplication, deletion, and row selection are also disabled. The system enforces these restrictions at both the frontend and API levels, and blocked operations are logged for auditing. This prevents accidental changes to academic structure, but still allows instructors to manage permitted fields.

Role-based solution visibility

The solution page now restricts visibility based on publish status and user role. Non-admin users can see only published solutions in the solution dropdown, which prevents confusion caused by draft or unfinished schedules. If no solution has been published, the dropdown appears empty with a clear message. Admin and Super Admin users retain full access to all solutions. This restriction is also enforced server-side to prevent access through direct URLs or API calls.

Enhanced examination schedule report

The general examination schedule report now includes four improvements. Exams within each campus and slot are sorted by duration in ascending order for easier review. Slot headers display the full time range instead of only the start time. Each exam row shows the exam duration in minutes and a calculated exam-specific start and end time. Online exams are now included in the report with the classroom value Online Exam, which makes them easier to distinguish from room-based exams.

Constructor University API multi-module exam separation and retaker enrollment

The Constructor University API integration now supports two major improvements. First, courses with multiple written exam modules are imported as separate exam planning records, and each record preserves its own learner enrollment list. This resolves missing exams for courses such as CH-212, where Module A and Module B require independent scheduling. Second, the enrollment sync now captures retaker learners from previous semesters, starting with Fall 2023, which recovers approximately 600 previously missing learners. Learner enrollment status is validated by using the StudiesSemesterCounter entity to identify active retakers versus dropouts.

Vue.js navigation micro frontend for Constructor Cloud

The Schedule Cloud Fragment now includes a dedicated Vue.js navigation micro frontend that handles navigation UI for the Constructor Cloud platform. The component follows the Figma design specifications and provides navigation hierarchy for Course Periods, Exam Periods, Planning, and Settings. It reads term context from LocalStorage, adapts to different deployment environments, and supports deep linking with browser history navigation.

CUB API data consistency engine

A new organizational data consistency and auto-fallback engine has been added for the CUB API integration. The engine automatically detects and resolves data inconsistencies during synchronization, including navigation logic for exam type and duration mapping. This helps provide more reliable data transfer between CampusNet and Constructor Schedule.
