2020.03 Sprint release
Release Date:
Thursday, 20 February, 2020
Version:
2020.03
Better user experience
Improve - Improved display and function of Awards Bulk Actions.
Improve - Updated entries_datadb_orphans to only use current sections. The script update to remove entries that have changed sections has been updated to only consider sections that are currently in use.
Improve - Made changes in display to further improve the accessibility of our product for all users.
Fix - Form dropdown for year selection now populates correctly when importing records automatically.
Fix - DWH sync logic now correctly intercepts bad records as expected.
Fix - "Amend Submission" button no longer appears on the "My Awards" page of researchers for a Centre that have not previously submitted during the current submission period.
Fix - NNF Additional Question - data table information appears properly in SQL and Exports. NNF can access information from the data table of their new additional question common-education-and-professional-training as expected.
Fix - Users can now successfully import Further Funding outcomes when using Firefox internet browser to add a new entry from the "My Awards" page. A question form is generated, with all corresponding information already filled in as expected.
Fix - Question in "Medical Products, Interventions & Clinical Trials” is now correctly treated as a non-mandatory question. The following question; "If you have a International Standard Registered Clinical/soCial sTudy Number (ISRCTN) please enter it here.," has no red asterisk, and so should not be treated as mandatory.
Fix - Updated field for extra_skills_shortage (recruitment-mrc). Once an award with a mandatory additional question is in submission the user is unable to submit until they have interacted with each additional question and either confirmed that nothing has changed since the last time the entry was saved, or that there are some changes (in which case they are prompted to edit the section). For awards with extra_skills_shortage (recruitment-mrc) that have already made at least one submission, we now pre-fill this field so the user does not have to answer the question themselves.
Fix - Attributed outcome now appears as expected when editing “Engagement Activities." When selecting to "Associate outcome with awards" and clicking to “Update record” at the bottom of the page, user will be returned back to the list of Engagement Activities, and the outcome the user just edited will display "Yes" in the "In this award" column, indicating that it is attributed to the award.
Fix - Publication help text is now correct. We fixed an issue with extra characters displaying erroneously.
Fix - Fixed issue caused by blank agreement uid. Fixed an issue causing users to be directed to their personal portfolio instead of the awards page when clicking an award. All live and revision awards have been fixed.
Other - On behalf of NIHR, we sent out email communication with information and instructions for the 2020 Multi Funder Submission Period.
Enhanced data collection
Improve - Improved error handling for locations cleaner->indexing. Adding new locations to the micro service requires a maximum of 4 asynchronous calls. If any of these fail, all affected locations are removed from the microservice as expected. We also removed some incorrect validation around duplicate location names and akas.
Improve - To ensure smooth processing, we have turned OFF publications uploads during the UK multi-funder submission period for 2020. RESEARCH ORGANISATION uploads are turned OFF from February 14th to March 13th 2020.
Improve - The Award Discipline field is now checked to make sure the field contains only the expected values:
Arts and Humanities
Generic
Life Sciences
Physical Sciences
Social
Improve - We now check to make sure the Funding Value is an integer, e.g. no periods, commas or currency symbols.
