Hints and tips

  • You can optionally view J-refs in cross references in the Editor and in PDFs.  See “Managing cross references” for more information
  • If you added a numerical value to a J-ref e.g. “D123”, when you choose to insert a J-ref in the next provision after it, the system will suggest the next reference in sequence e.g. “D124”
  • J-refs must be unique (within the document), alphanumerical and up to 10 characters long
  • J-refs can be inserted against sections (Bills), Regulations (or Articles etc.) (SI/SSIs) and against Schedules (Both)
  • If you use the structure view to insert a J-ref, you can insert it from any provision below a Section (for Bill) or Regulation (or Article etc.) for an SI/SSI but it will be inserted against the parent section/regulation/article etc.
