Adding/removing 'Gov' from Commons amendments

Introduction

The attribute "Gov" is automatically assigned to OPC submitted amendments if they check the "Mark these amendments as Government amendments" upon submission.  In the unlikely event they get this wrong when they submit their amendments, it is possible to update the submitted amendments manually.

How to add/remove 'Gov' from Amendments

From the 'Amendment Manager' tab, select the amendment(s) you wish to update and click 'Edit' (alternatively you can do this directly in the Marshalled List)

When they appear in the Editor, either:

• place your cursor in the amendment's num (or unique reference if it hasn't been assigned a number yet) and use the left arrow to move your cursor to the 'Body' element (see the breadcrumb, it should look something like: "list name" > List body > Component > Amendment > Body )

• show tags by:

  • From the upper tool bar, select 'Document > Preferences'

  • Select 'Full Tags' and click on 'Apply'

  •  Place your cursor after the "Body" tag (just before "Heading" tag)

  • Return to your preferred tag view by repeating steps i and ii.

Click on 'Attributes' right hand panel

• To add the 'Gov' attribute: click on the 'Add Attribute' button

  • Type into the 'Attribute' field: ukl:memberInCharge

  • Type into the 'Value' field: Gov

  • Click on 'Add' when complete

• To remove the 'Gov' attribute: click on the ukl:memberInCharge attribute in the list and click on the 'delete' (bin) button

The Gov text in the Editor will appear/disappear as appropriate
