To assist with managing large numbers of amendments, it is suggested that drafters do the following:
1. Set the “status” and flag the amendments as follows:
Amendment type | Status | Flagged |
---|
Government amendment | Draft | No |
Handout amendment | Draft | Yes |
Superseded or discarded amendment | On hold | No |
How to set amendment status to "On hold"
From the 'Amendment Manager' tab, select the draft amendments you want to put 'On hold'
Click on the 'Amendment Action' drop-down menu at the top-right of the screen and select Set 'Draft' to 'On hold'
Amendments will be updated to 'On hold'
For for information see Set 'Draft' amendments to 'On hold' (and vice versa)
How to flag and unflag amendments
Go to the Amendment Manager tab
Click on a flag icon on the left-hand side of an amendment to flag it.
The selected amendment will be highlighted yellow in the list when the flag is on. To remove the flag, simply click on the flag icon again.
2. Filter your amendments to show only those with “Draft” status.
How to quickly filter amendments to Draft only
Use the quick filter option at the top-right of the Amendments Manager tab
This means that:
your amendments manager is now more manageable,
superseded or discarded amendments will not appear on your list (and the “on hold” status means they cannot accidentally be lodged),
handout amendments will still be visible so you can keep track of your drafting (but flagging it prevents it from being accidentally lodged),
submitted amendments will not appear in your amendment manager.
If you wish to see all amendments, you will need to change the Quick Filter to show “All amendments”.
