To assist with managing large numbers of amendments, it is suggested that drafters do the following:
First, Set the “status” and flag amendments as follows:
Amendment type | Status | Flagged |
|---|---|---|
Government amendment | Draft | No |
Handout amendment | Draft | Yes |
Superseded or discarded amendment | On hold | No |
And then filter your amendments to show only those with “Draft” status.
This means that:
your amendments 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superseded or discarded amendments will not appear on your list (and the “on hold” status means they cannot accidentally be lodged),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 your drafting (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 will need to change the Quick Filter to show “All amendments”.
