OLD - Converting to/from schedule

Introduction

If you have drafted a section (or a regulation etc in an SI) but this needs converting to a schedule, you can use Lawmaker to automatically convert your provision without having to do it manually.  The operation works the other way so that you can covert a schedule into a section (or regulation etc. if it is an SI).  

How to convert to a schedule

1. Select one or more contiguous sections (or regulations etc. if in an SI)
2. Right-click in the Editor or select in the Structure view on the left hand side, and select "Convert to/from schedule"
3. The selected provisions will be converted to a schedule containing a cross heading for each section/regulation that you selected.

How to convert from a schedule

1. Select one schedule
2. Right-click in the Editor and select "Convert to/from schedule"
3. The selected schedule will be converted into one or more sections (or regulation etc. if you are in an SI) where each cross heading within the schedule will become a section (or regulation etc. if you are in an SI)

Hints and tips

• You can convert sections/regulations and schedule inside quoted structures in the same way
• To use multi-select in the structure view, you will need to select bottom-up rather than top-down as there is a bug which prevents 'Convert to/from schedule' from appearing in the right-click context menu
• You cannot convert a provision if the provision itself is locked by another user OR if the target location is locked.
• The target location for provision will generally be at the end of the document.  
  • Schedules
    • If the document already contains schedules, the schedule will be inserted as the last schedule in your document
    • If the document doesn't already contain schedules, the schedule will be inserted at the end of the document, after the last section/regulation etc.
    • SIs and UK Bills will include the insertion of a 'SCHEDULES' heading as part of inserting the schedule (if it is the first one in the document).  For SIs, just delete the heading by selecting it from the breadcrumb if you don't want it
  • Sections/Regulations/Clauses etc.
    
    • If your document contains schedules, it will be inserted before the first schedule
    • If your document contains grouping elements e.g. parts, it will be inserted as the last section/clause/regulation etc. in the last grouping element in your document
• If a schedule paragraph hasn't got a cross heading before it, it will appear under an empty section/regulation/article heading.
• If you are converting a schedule in a quoted structure which is document type SI/SSI - Lawmaker will default to creating a 'regulation' as it doesn't have enough context information to work out what this provision should be.
