Submissions

Purpose

The Submissions tab lists everything submitted to your container program, grouped the way you manage it: one section for the proposals sent to the container itself, then one section for each sub-program with that sub-program's submissions. It is the same list as the organizer's View All Submissions page, limited to your container.

Only valid submissions are listed and counted: drafts, withdrawn and deleted submissions are left out.

When you use it

• To review the proposals waiting for a decision.
• To see what has been submitted to each sub-program.
• To open a submission's full record and decide on it.
• To move submissions sent to the wrong sub-program into the right one.

Walkthrough

1. 1

   Open the Multi-Program Chair Console, select your container, and open the Submissions tab.

2. 2

   The first section, Proposals, lists the proposals submitted to your container. Below it is one section per sub-program, in the order you set in the Programs tab. Sections with submissions start open; empty ones start collapsed. Click a section's header (the arrow on its left) to open or close it.

3. 3

   Sort a section by clicking the arrows beside Status, Paper #, Title, or Date; click again to flip the order.

4. 4

   Hover over the authors or a long title to see it in full.

5. 5

   Click the eye icon (View and Decide) at the end of a row, or the paper number, to open the submission's page.

6. 6

   To decide on a proposal, use the Decision box at the top right of its page: pick Accept, Revise, or Reject, then click the button and confirm. Accept creates the sub-program (for example, the workshop) under your container and makes the proposer its chair.

7. 7

   To move submissions to another sub-program (when your container has at least two), select them in one sub-program's section and click Move a Submission above the sections. The window shows the sub-program they are in with the selected submissions under it. Choose the sub-program to move them to under To and click Move. A submission keeps its Submission Category when the target sub-program has one of the same name. When it doesn't, the window asks you to choose one of the target's categories for that submission before Move works. Its track stays when the target has a track of that name; otherwise the track is left blank.

8. 8

   Each moved submission gets a new submission number in its new sub-program, and the window lists the old and new numbers. Only submissions not yet in review move: with a reviewer or Area Chair assigned, a review or a decision, a submission stays, and the window says why. Its bids and matching suggestions from the old sub-program are removed. If it misses a rule of the new sub-program (fewer authors than it requires, or double blind review there), it still moves and the window warns you. The corresponding author, the submitting author (one email when they are the same person) and the program chairs of both sub-programs and of your Multi-Program are emailed.
