Allow an administrator to bulk rollover lists to a new time period
An administrator specifies a "from" period and a "to" period, and then asks the system to perform a bulk rollover.
The system finds all lists that are currently assigned to the specified "from" period that haven't already been copied manually and assigned to the specified "to" period. For all given matches, the system creates a copy of these lists and automatically assigns them to the "to" period.
For example, the following lists exist before rollover (list name/time period shown):
"Financial Accounting and reporting", "Autumn Term 08/09"
"Advanced Financial Accounting and reporting", "Autumn Term 08/09"
"Advanced Financial Accounting and reporting", "Spring Term 08/09"
"Basic Financial Accounting and reporting", "Spring Term 08/09"
An administrator performs a bulk rollover from "Autumn Term 08/09" to "Spring Term 08/09". The result is one new list is created:
"Financial Accounting and reporting", "Spring Term 08/09"

In the absence of dynamic updating of the hierarchy, the ability to create a new time period at the Tenancy level and rollover will be key
