CHAIR HOW-TO: Enable Review
OVERVIEW
Chairs need to enable Review Submission Activity and set an appropriate deadline in order for Reviewers to access their assigned papers and submit reviews. This document shows how to enable/disable Reviewer activity and set the deadlines.
Note
For multi-track conferences, you must enable and save each track separately.
MULTI-TRACK CONFERENCE
Enable Review Submission Deadline
- From the ‘Settings’ tab, choose the track from the dropdown that needs 'Review Submission' to be enabled.
Note
More than one track can be enabled for Review Submission, however each deadline for each track must be saved separately. If it is not saved before going to the next track dropdown, it will not be enabled.
- Click ‘Activity Timeline>Deadline’ and set the ‘Review Submission’ status by using the dropdown menu and selecting 'Enable.' Enter a proper future date, then click ‘Save changes.’
