Settings
Edit your container program's information, the number of authors its sub-programs' submissions need and what proposers upload with a proposal, from the Settings tab of the Multi-Program Chair Console.
Purpose
The Settings tab, next to Dashboard, holds the settings of your container program itself (for example, "Workshops") in four sub tabs: Program Info, Submission Settings (the number of authors its sub-programs' submissions need, and how proposals for new sub-programs are submitted), Important Dates and Review Config. Each sub-program keeps its other settings in the Program Chair Console.
When you use it
- To correct the container's name, acronym, description, contact email or email sender name.
- To require more or fewer authors on submissions to your sub-programs than the conference does.
- To check what file a proposer must upload with a proposal.
Walkthrough
- 1
Open the Multi-Program Chair Console, select your container, and open the Settings tab. Program Info is the first sub tab.
- 2
Program Information is the same section as Program Info in the Program Chair Console's Settings: edit the Name, Acronym, Description, Contact Email and Email Sender Name, then click Save Program Info. Submission limits are not set here: the Proposal limit per submitting author (default 1) is in the container's Submission Config, under General Proposal settings, and each sub-program sets its own limits.
- 3
Open Submission Settings. Under Required Number of Authors, Use the setting of the conference is checked by default, so your sub-programs follow the number set in the Leadership Console (default 2), including later changes. To set your own, clear it, enter the number and click Save. Your sub-programs then start from your number, and each sub-program's chairs can still change it in their Submission Config. Authors with fewer authors get a warning on the Authors step and can't go on.
- 4
Under Proposal Submission, also in Submission Settings, choose the Content type proposers upload. PDF only is the default and currently the only option. Click Save.
- 5
Important Dates sets the dates and time zone every sub-program starts from (see Important Dates). Review Config is the Program Chair Console's Review Configuration, and its values are every sub-program's defaults (see Review Config).
Tips
Tracks, submission types, the Archive default and review settings for a workshop or tutorial are set in that sub-program's Program Chair Console → Settings, which its chairs find in their sidebar. Dates start from the container's Settings → Important Dates, and each sub-program may change them.
