EDIT QUOTAS INDIVIDUALLY

Note

This is the same process for both single-track and multi-track conferences. In the multi-track conference 'Edit Reviewer Quota' page there will be list all the tracks where the reviewer has that role. In the single-track conference it will only have the one conference track.

  • Go to the the 'Manage Reviewers Page' and find the Reviewer whose quotas need to be adjusted.

The 'Edit Reviewer Quota' page opens.

  • Adjust the 20 paper quota in the first track to 10, then click 'Save.' The adjusted quota will be 21 instead of 31.
