Filtering by status

Each amendment has a status (eg, Draft, On Hold, Submitted, Deleted etc). 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:

There are two ways to do this:

1. Use the quick filter option at the top-right of the Amendments Manager tab. This allows filtering by Draft, Submitted, Tabled, Ready for Publishing, or Deleted status.

2. Use the Filter option (blue button at top-right of Amendments Manager). This allows you to select a wider range of statuses to filter by (eg, Fell, Substituted, On Hold, or Withdrawn).

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:

1. Click on the “Filter” button (blue button at the top right of your Amendment Manager tab).

2. Select the List you wish to view.

3. 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 those amendments (eg for submitting or for applying amendments).
