You can insert five types of pre-populated rubrics into the beginning of an SI/SSI:

  • Correction

  • Resolution

  • Approved

  • Laid in draft

  • Royal Presence.

Depending on the type selected, Lawmaker will present further options of the text to be inserted. Once inserted, you can modify them further if required.

For example, here is a Laid in draft rubric after it has been inserted:

How to insert a rubric

  1. From the upper tool bar, select Insert>Insert Front Matter Element.

  2. The system will present a dialogue box allowing you to select the type of element.

  3. Select the rubric option which most closely matches the wording you need.

  4. Click Insert

The system will insert the rubric text in the correct location in the document. If a rubric element already exists in the document, it will be replaced with your selected one. 

If necessary, you can update the rubric by typing into the *** placeholders.

How to delete rubric

  1. Place your cursor in the rubric.

  2. Click on the rubric element in the breadcrumb and press Backspace. Depending on the type of rubric, the breadcrumb element may have different names, e.g. “Procedural rubric”, “Approval”, “Correct rubric”, “Laid in draft rubric”.

The system will remove the rubric element from the document.
