Introduction

The amendment lists use automated rules to determine which amendments should appear in which list.  Sometimes an incorrect status may have been recorded against an amendment which means the amendment will no longer appear in the expected list.  We’ve built a function that will allow Parliament users to get around this issue but it should be used with caution. It’s possible to manually update events that have happened to an amendment. An event includes submitted, tabled, published. If you accidentally tabled an amendment that shouldn’t be, you can use this filter to undo that state change by removing the event from the amendment.

How to update an amendment status

  1. Open the amendment in

    the Editor

    a temporary list by selecting

    it from the list on the ‘Amendment Manager’ tab and clicking on  the 'Amendment Action'

    Amendment Actions > Open temporary list from the drop-down menu in the top right of the page

    and selecting 'Create temporary list'

  2. Place your cursor in the first amendment in the list and click on the

    “Amendment Status”

    Amendment Status panel in the right-hand panel in the Editor

  3. Click on the

    “Manage lifecycle event” link

Info
  • If an amendment has been published on a list, there will be a link available to click on which will open that list so that you can view the amendment on it – there may be more than one list that an amendment is published on e.g. Daily List, another Daily List (if an amendment to it was lodged), 1st Marshalled List, 2nd Marshalled List and associated Grouping Lists.
