Suggestions for filtering Amendment Manager

/flo For Bills with a lot of amendments, the Amendment Manager may become long and difficult to use. You may wish to use the filter options to make it more manageable and useful to you. Here are two suggestions for how to filter your Amendment Manager:

1 Filtering by status
2 Filtering by list of draft amendments (LoDA)

Click here for other ways you may wish to filter your Amendment Manager.

Filtering by status

Each amendment has a status (eg, Draft, On Hold, Submitted are the ones relevant to PCO). You may filter your Amendment Manager according to the status of each amendment. The steps below will show you how to filter to Draft status.

To filter by status:

You will need to set the “status” and flag the amendments as follows:

Amendment type	Status	Flagged

Amendment type	Status	Flagged
Government amendment	Draft	No
Handout amendment	Draft	Yes
Superseded or discarded amendment	On hold	No

_{For for information see}_here_.

_{For more information see}_here_.

Filter your amendments to show only those with “Draft” status.

Use the quick filter option at the top-right of the Amendments Manager tab:

This means that:

your Amendment Manager is now more manageable,
superseded or discarded amendments will not appear on your list (and the “on hold” status means they cannot accidentally be lodged),
handout amendments will still be visible so you can keep track of them (but flagging it prevents it from being accidentally lodged),
submitted amendments will not appear in your Amendment Manager.

If you wish to see all amendments, you just need to change the Quick Filter to show “All amendments”.

Filtering by list of draft amendments (LoDA)

You can also filter the Amendment Manager to show the amendments in a particular LoDA (List of Draft Amendments - i.e. the name you have given the list in your Amendment Workspace tab).

To filter by LoDA:

Click on the “Filter” button at the top right of your Amendment Manager tab.
Select the List you wish to view.
Click Apply.

Note that the filter will stick. To see other amendments not in the list, you will need to change the Filter settings or click “clear”.

This means that:

your amendments manager is now more manageable as other amendments no longer appear on the page,
submitted amendments still appear in your amendment manager if they occur in that list,
if all lodged amendments appear in one list, it is easier to select amendments for submission in Lawmaker.
