Introduction
SI/SSIs subject to the affirmative procedure will be initially laid in the form of a Draft SI/SSIs. Once they have received approval through Parliamentary procedures they will need converting to Made. The system will allow users to easily convert a Draft to Made, automatically making all necessary updates to the underlying XML.
How to convert an SI/SSI to Made
Select Duplicate version from the drop-down menu on the tile of the document version you want to convert to Made
The system will ask you to specify a version description
When you have provided a version description, select the ‘Convert to Made’ checkbox
Click on Create
The system will create a duplicate version of the document, converting it into a Made document and display it on the ‘Project’ tab, under the new stage heading of “Made” (unless you specified a different stage name during this duplication process).
Hints and tips
Converting a Draft SI/SSI to Made will make the following changes:
Updates the XML so that it is now an Act document (XML version of Made)
Removes the ‘Draft’ from the banner
Removes the procedural rubric above the Banner
It is not possible to use ‘Convert to Made’ if the document version is already ‘Made’
It will suggest a stage heading of ‘Made’ when you convert a draft SI/SSI to Made, but you can override this in the ‘Duplicate version’ modal if you want to put the duplicate document in a different stage grouping.
