|
| 2 | Create a New Project Select UK Public Bill > Government Bill Ensure you include the word “Bill” at the end of the project/bill Title as a real bill would (this is necessary to test bill-to-act conversion later on in the script) Can select: -types -sub-types -title | A new project is created, visible only to users in the same organisation as the current user It appears on the main Dashboard Project tab opens for the new document Editor opens in a new tab showing an empty template document
| Pass |
|
| 3 | Check and edit document information for the bill using the Document Information panel in the Editor Note that there is sometimes a delay between changing a value in this panel and the text changing in the main editor pane | Document information displays correctly Able to edit: Title, Session, Year, Rubric Details are changed or populated in the main editor pane after the change is made in the Doc Info panel | Pass |
|
| 4 | Click on Body placeholder Build-up the Bill Structure by creating: Parts, Chapters, Cross Headings, Sections, sub-sections, paragraphs. Also, create some other elements (eg: definitions, lists) You can copy and paste elements eg: create one part, with various sub elements and then copy to create more structure. You can copy text for your bill from http://legislation.gov.uk
| CCA is displayed Creates a realistic looking Bill Structure view (left-hand side of the Editor window) is updated in line with new elements created in the Editor
| Pass |
|
| 5 | Insert 2 schedules | The "SCHEDULES" heading will appear before the first schedule If “Auto-renumbering” is OFF then schedules will not be renumbered If “Auto renumbering” is ON then schedules will not be renumbered (feels counter intuitive but is technically by design if not intention) | Pass | one small note: after inserting the second schedule, the first one still says ‘Schedule’ in the Num, rather than ‘Schedule 1'. I think that’s expected behaviour. The opposite action, deleting a penultimate Schedule, does alter the remaining Schedule Num. |
