Workspace changes

  • Added page navigation functions to facilitate working with page results. You can now:
    • Jump to a specific page within a range of page results. email

    • Change the number of results that appear on a page (default is 10; up to 100 allowed). email

  • These additions require that the system load each page. When you select a tab in a workspace, you will see a “loading” message in the task bar to indicate that the system is working to return your results.

Urgent Amendments Feature Broken

Ancillary Committees, Core Committee Staff, and Committee Members: the feature that highlights Urgent Amendments in red text is broken. They now display in blue and black, similar to other document types. We appreciate your patience as we investigate a potential fix.

A quick method to locate any Urgent Amendments is to select “Is Urgent?” from the Filter by drop-down list and qualify with a “yes” value.

email Committee Workspace Slowness

We are currently investigating instances of system slowness when opening the Committee Workspace. If you experience this, or if the page fails to completely load, please refresh your browser.
