Recording amendment outcomes

Introduction

After debate, the outcomes need to be recorded against each amendment. It’s possible to do this via a temporary list or by editing the latest Marshalled List. The process for recording the outcomes against each amendment is the same for both approaches.

How to record outcomes

1. Open the amendments in the Editor (either by opening latest Marshalled List or selecting the amendments from the Amendment Manager tab and editing in a temporary list)

2. Place cursor in the first amendment in the list

3. Open the ‘Amendment Status’ right-hand panel

4. Record the outcome by clicking on the relevant outcome button e.g. Agreed

5. Wait for it to update then move to the next amendment

6. When all outcomes have been updated, save your changes

Hints and tips

• Use keyboard shortcut Alt + K to move down or Alt + H to move back up the list of amendments

• Use the filters on the Amendment Manager tab to help you find the amendments that need updating
