Process and logic for auto-generating the Lords Manuscript ListFiltering which amendments to include in the list:The amendments that were pre-selected on the Amendment Manager Sorting the amendmentsThey will be sorted in the order they appear in the bill or by the Order of Consideration, if there is one (see Sorting logic used by Lords amendment lists for more information on sort logic). Amendments to amendments will be sorted by the page/line information or the amendment number they are linked to. This information is automatically captured by parsing the italic amendment note on amendments to amendments when saving.
Populating the listAs part of populating the list with amendments, interstitial headings are automatically inserted before each amendment group e.g. “Clause 2”; “After Schedule 2” etc. If there was an order of consideration, it will be included in the header of the list and can be optionally deleted if not required Amendments are numbered according to the Amendment Numbering Logic Any amendment that has not previously been published on another list will be assigned a black star
Amendment Numbering LogicThe logic for numbering amendments on a Manuscript List is basic at the moment and is due to be improved in a future release. Currently it will work out what the next number in the sequence is from previously published amendments. It is not able to workout where these selected amendments sit vis-a-vis already published amendments and therefor is unable to work out amendment numbering e.g. 1A
