Dashboard

Get an at-a-glance view of your container program — key counts, a sub-programs overview, recent submissions, and quick links — from the Dashboard tab of the Multi-Program Chair Console.

Last updated: 2026-06-28

Purpose

The Dashboard tab is the landing view for your container program. It rolls up the whole category into four headline numbers, lists the sub-programs you manage, shows the most recent submissions across all of them, and offers quick links into the wider conference tools.

When you use it

  • As your first stop each time you open the console, to check the health of your container at a glance.
  • To see how many submissions are pending review or already accepted across all your sub-programs.
  • To spot the latest submission activity without opening the full Submissions table.
  • To jump out to related conference tools (all submissions, program settings, the conference dashboard, the CFP manager).

Walkthrough

  1. 1

    Open the Multi-Program Chair Console and select your container program (skipped if you chair only one). The Dashboard tab is shown by default.

  2. 2

    Read the four stat cards across the top: Sub-Programs, Total Submissions, Pending Reviews (submissions under review), and Accepted — all counted across the container and every sub-program.

  3. 3

    Use Sub-Programs Overview (left) to see each sub-program with its type, submission count, and status badge. If none exist yet, you'll see a prompt that sub-programs appear after proposals are approved.

  4. 4

    Check Recent Submissions (right) for the five newest submissions across your programs, each with its program name, date, and status.

  5. 5

    Use the Quick Actions row to jump to View All Submissions, Edit Program, the Conference Dashboard, or the CFP Manager.

Tips

Empty dashboard is normal early on

Until proposals are accepted, your container has no sub-programs and the sub-programs and recent-submissions panels show empty states. Head to the Decisions tab to accept proposals — each accepted proposal becomes a sub-program and starts feeding these counts.
