Hints and tips

• Amendments must have been submitted before Parliament user can table/lodge or reject them
• The changes to amendment statuses will only be applied when you click ‘Save’
• To undo a selection, click on the button again to de-select it.
• Use the button called “Table” to lodge amendments
• Bulk update will only work on amendments that have the appropriate status e.g. “Draft to submitted” the amendment’s status must be ‘Draft’.  If there was one amendment that didn’t have the status of “Draft” but the rest did – only the amendments with the status = Draft would be updated in this context.

Commons Amendments only

• There is an additional state "Ready for Publishing" which the PPU will use once they've finished setting an amendment and it is considered ready for publishing.  The 'Marshalled List' logic has been updated to only populate the list if Amendments have the 'Ready for Publishing' status (and no longer the 'Tabled' status)
