Updating/populating a list with amendments

Introduction

Some lists will allow you to update the list of amendments e.g. if you have made any changes to the amendments that will affect their sort order, or if you want to refresh a rolling list with amendments following the current day's activities. 

How to update your amendment list

With your list in the Editor:

• Right-click and select Update List, or

• From the upper tool bar, select Tools > Update List or for Scottish Lists, Tools > Populate List

The system will:

• select which amendments qualify for the list you are updating which can potentially result in new amendments appearing and/or amendments being removed from the list (but not deleted!)

• sort the amendments in the list

• insert interstitial headings (depending on the list being updated)

• number the amendments (depending on the list being updated)

• add stars (depending on the list being updated)

• For Scottish Groupings Lists only:

  • validate the amendment numbers you have listed in the “Groupings of Amendments” section:

    • Orange text = amendment numbers that exist for that bill version

    • Grey highlight = amendment numbers that do not exist for that bill version.

  • populate the Grouping List under the heading “Amendments in Debate Order” with the valid amendments listed under each Group heading in the order specified in the list.
