Reporting

Reporter role change

A modification has been implemented for the reporter role within Pure. In the past, the reporter role had the ability to report on every user in the system. This functionality has been altered; the reporter role no longer have the capability to report on users. To maintain this functionality, users who are impacted must be assigned the Global reporters of users role alongside their existing reporter role, if they should still be able to report on users in Pure.

REF

REF name updated

We have updated the name of the REF2028 module to REF2029 to reflect the changes from UKRI. The renaming includes all items related to REF2029, such as the review template, the UoA, etc.

UoA on Person

It is now possible to specify on Persons to which Unit of Assessment (2029) they belong. You can also use the information from this Unit of Assessment field to create the reports needed for an overview of which persons are in which UoAs. 

Bulk upload of Reviews

It is now possible to upload of multiple Reviews per Research output. Pure creates a Review for each combination of Research output ID and UoA. We have also added a the optional Review ID column to the upload spreadsheet. If the Review ID column is present, Pure uses it to find the corresponding Review and adds it to the respondents from the spreadsheet. With this change, it is possible to create Reviews in Pure and populate them with information from the spreadsheet.

Visibility of co-author review requests

We have updated permissions on Reviews so that review requests made on outputs are only visible to the requestor and not any of their co-authors on the same record.  Visibility settings and permissions for Editors or Administrators are otherwise unchanged. 

Bug fixes

This release also contains a number of bug fixes, including the following from Known issues:
