Dashboard

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

Last updated: 2026-10-22

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, and shows the most recent submissions across all of them. Every sub-program and every recent submission is clickable.

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 straight to one sub-program, or to one new submission.

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 (running sub-programs only), Total Submissions, Pending Reviews (submissions under review), and Accepted; the last three are counted across the container and every sub-program. Total Submissions counts valid proposals and submissions only: drafts, withdrawn and deleted ones are left out.

  3. 3

    Click the Sub-Programs card to open the Programs tab, or the Total Submissions card to open the Submissions tab.

  4. 4

    Use Sub-Programs Overview (left) to see each running sub-program with its acronym badge, name, submission count, and status badge. Under the name, one chip per submission type it takes (for example Paper and Abstract), read from its Submission Configuration. Click a sub-program to open the Programs tab with that sub-program's card outlined and scrolled into view. Draft and paused sub-programs are listed only in the Programs tab. If there is no running one yet, the overview says so.

  5. 5

    Check Recent Submissions (right) for the five newest submissions across your programs, each with its program's acronym badge (the container's or the sub-program's), program name, date, and status. Click one to open its submission details page.

Tips

No acronym badge?

The badge shows the program's acronym. A program without one shows only its name. Add an acronym by editing the program.

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.
