To draft finance resolutions, you must be in a project that is a Finance Bill
How to create a Finance Bill project
From the dashboard, click on the + New button in the top right above the project tiles/list
The system will ask you to provide the following information:
Type - select "UK Public Bill"
Sub-type - select "Finance Bill"
Title (mandatory)
When you have added the necessary details, click on the Create button
The system will take you to the Editor, with the appropriate Finance Bill template loaded and pre-populated with known text.
How to create an empty Finance Resolution document (in an existing Finance Bill project)
From the Project tab, click on the + New FR button in the top right
The system will ask you to provide the following information:
Folder
Version description (must be unique across the whole project)
When you have added the necessary details, click on the Create button
The system will create a new Finance Resolution document version and display it as a green tile (working version - editable) in the appropriate folder with a "FR" green badge.
Hints and tips
You can insert 4 types of resolution:
Ways and means resolution
PCTA resolution
Money resolution, and
Procedure resolution
To group subsection-like elements under an italicised heading, select "Resolution group" from the insert menu. This works the same way that a cross heading would work - you must use "wrap" to insert it around existing provisions and to remove it you should use "unwrap"
By default, any user in the same organisation as the user who created the Finance Bill or Finance Resolution will have read/write access to it.
When you create a new project, it will automatically be set as a 'favourite'Â
You can insert as many resolutions in a single Finance Resolution document as you like
