Better number allocation for Lords amendment lists - several improvements have been made here with the result that:
the numbering algorithm used is now the same as that in the Editor for assigning numbers to new provisions so can better cope with complex numbers like 4ZABB; and
number allocation to new amendments (in a marshalled or manuscript list) now takes account of all published amendments, not just the amendments in a specific list with the result that the numbers automatically allocated should be correct in a much greater range of cases.
There are still limitations in the numbering algorithm that exist in the Editor as well and we’ll look to improve that further in the future. (LMS-680, LMS-118)
Distinguishing between Commons and Lords versions and stages - some significant changes have been made to how Lawmaker manages published versions of Bills to avoid an issue that arose previously where Bills published by the different Houses were treated as being the same Bill causing severe problems around amendment management. Now, whenever a Bill is published by the Commons or Lords, an additional “Commons” or “Lords” label is added to the version, enabling both Lawmaker and users to clearly distinguish the versions even if the version rubric (e.g. “As amended in Committee”) is the same. (LMS-1397)
Sorting ping pong motions by sort code - you can now add a sort code to ping pong motions, as you already can with ordinary amendments, to control the order of motions in an amendment list where the motions would otherwise be sorted to the same place in the list. This will be particularly useful for amendments to amendments. (LMS-390)
Opening dialog boxes from the Amendment actions menu on the Amendment Manager tab - dialog boxes for Submit amendments and other actions now open quicker when working on Bills with a large number of amendments.
Editor
Simplified and improved folding of provisions - “Folding” is the name given to the feature in Lawmaker that allows you to hide provisions in the Editor so you can only see the title or number. This can made it easier to navigate around the document and also improves performance.
Following feedback from users, we’ve reworked this feature substantially so that:
it only operates at one level, rather than nested levels, so that you can quickly expand and collapse provisions without multiple clicks and so that, even when everything is collapses, the overall document structure remains more apparent.
the functionality has been extended across Bills, SIs and amendment lists in a consistent way. It now applies to:
Sections/Clauses, and schedule paragraphs, of a Bill;
Regulations/articles/rules, and schedule paragraphs, of an SI/SSI;
the quoted structure (i.e. the provisions being inserted) by an amendment.
the toolbar in the Editor now has two buttons so you can quickly and easily access the functionality to expand all provisions or collapse all provisions (other than the one your cursor is in).
All provisions in a Bill etc. will be open by default when the document is first opened. (You can use the button the toolbar to quickly collapse them if needed.)
