Converting a Draft SI/SSI into a Made version

Converting a Draft SI/SSI into a Made version

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 SI/SSI to a Made SI/SSI, automatically making all necessary updates to the document and underlying XML.

How to convert an SI/SSI to Made

  1. On the Project Tab, select Duplicate version from the Actions menu on the document version you want to convert to Made.

  2. Enter a version description (i.e. a name) for the new version and select the folder in which the Made version is to be created.

  3. Click on the Convert to Made checkbox so it is checked.

  4. Click Create.

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 ‘Draft’ from the banner

  • Removes the procedural rubric above the Banner

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

  • It is not possible to use ‘Convert to Made’ if the document version is already ‘Made’

  • Lawmaker will suggest a folder 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 folder.
