  • NEW FEATURE Changes in the process of generating students reports in batch issued from the menus Courses > Assessment results > Results and certificates > Students reports with results in parts: Now, they contain the possibility of choosing grades from several different evaluations to add to the list, and also allow you to display an average of the grades for all the evaluations chosen, being able to choose that the average is calculated by evaluation or by subject.

  • NEW FEATURE Added improvements to the teacher Timetable Control reports. The timetable control report can now be generated in three ways: from simulated results to show timetable control (without the need for the previous existence of confirmed teachings in aGora), from the real generated and confirmed teachings for associated staff, or a blank report to be filled in manually. The report can now also be issued for non-teaching staff in the centre.
