In the Amendments tab of a stage: filter, read the summaries, add your labels, then export, in that order and once only.

A five-step method, in the order that saves you doing the work twice.

In detail

  1. Filter first. In the search field on the page, type the beginning of the name of a political group, a committee or a parliamentarian: Dixit offers you the matches and one click turns them into a filter. The Show filters button adds the article, the outcome and the number.
  2. Read the summaries, not the operative text. Every amendment carries a summary of fifty words at most. It is there to sort, not to analyse: it is what takes you from eight hundred amendments down to the thirty or so that matter.
  3. Apply your labels as you go. Favorable, Défavorable, À suivre, Priorité 1: your categories, not ours. This is the work that will come out in your export.
  4. Open the full operative text only for the thirty that remain, using the chevron at the right of the row. The Viewer button gives a full-screen display, more comfortable for this phase.
  5. Export. The Word overview and Excel overview give you a presentable report; the PDF, Word and Excel exports give you the full batch, with the complete operative text of every amendment. The details are in the Producing a deliverable section.
