Area Chairs Reports
Read and resolve the conflict reports, reassignment requests and escalations your Area Chairs send, and the escalations from your Senior Area Chairs, from the Area Chairs Reports sub-tab of Area Chair Assignment & Reports.
Purpose
Area Chairs Reports is the third sub-tab of Area Chair Assignment & Reports, after Paper-AC Assignment. It is where the issues your Area Chairs and Senior Area Chairs raise to you arrive:
- Reports from Area Chairs: conflict reports, reassignment requests and escalations. You can mark each one read and resolve it.
- Escalations from Senior Area Chairs: issues SACs raise to you, with the paper, AC, SAC, priority and issue on each card. This part appears only when your program has Senior Area Chairs.
When you use it
Throughout the review period, whenever a red dot appears. A red dot on the Review tab, on Area Chair Assignment & Reports and on Area Chairs Reports means there are unread reports or escalations waiting for you.
