Generating an official list will automatically populate the appropriate document template with relevant amendments, sorted and grouped under appropriate interstitial headings.
How to generate a Lords Running List
Create a list by:
From the Amendment Manager tab: select Amendment Actions > Create Official List from the dropdown menu in the top right of the page
From the Official List tab: click on the Create List button
Select Lords Running List
Update the relevant information in the dialog box and click on Create
A new tab opens with the appropriate document template, containing relevant amendments sorted and grouped under applicable interstitial headings, with black stars against any new amendments which haven’t previously been published.

Process and logic for auto-generating the Lords Running List
Filtering which amendments to include in the list:
Amendments will appear in the Running List if:
they were recorded as having been “tabled” up to the specified cut-off date/time of the amendment list, and
they haven’t already got an outcome recorded against them e.g. Withdrawn before debate, Agreed to etc..
Sorting the amendments
They will be sorted in the order they appear in the bill or by the Order of Consideration, if there is one (see Sorting logic used by Lords amendment lists for more information on sort logic).
Amendments to amendments will be sorted by the page/line information or the amendment number they are linked to. This information is automatically captured by parsing the italic amendment note on amendments to amendments when saving.
Populating the list
As part of populating the list with amendments, interstitial headings are automatically inserted before each amendment group e.g. “Clause 2”; “After Schedule 2” etc.
Black stars will be added next to any amendments which have not previously been published on a list.
If there is an order of consideration, it will be included in the header of the list.
