Abstracts & Reviewers

Turning it on

Event Settings → Miscellaneous → Enable Abstract Management (switch). This adds Abstracts, Reviewers, and Abstract Settings to the event sidebar and turns on the public submission page. Off by default per event.

Abstract Settings

Event sidebar → Abstract Settings — five tabs:

Tab	Configures
Tracks	Add Track — Name, Group, Description
Types & Formats	Add Submission Type / Add Presentation Format — Name
Review Questions	Question, Description, Answer type, scale labels (if scored), Required switch
Document Types	Name, Type (Plain text / Uploaded document / PDF / Image / Link / Video URL), size limit, Supporting document switch, Required switch
Settings	Submission banner image, Title word limit, Author bio word limit, Submissions open/close dates, Terms & copyright text, Consent text — Save Settings

No topic-category or word-limit field exists for the abstract body itself. Presenting-author email is required directly on the submission form, not a setting here.

Reviewing abstracts

Event sidebar → Abstracts — table: Paper #, Title, Track, Type, Status (Draft / Submitted / Under Review / Revision Requested / Accepted / Rejected / Withdrawn). Filter Abstracts by status/track. Export → abstracts.xlsx.

Click a row to open the drawer, then:

Action	What happens
Accept / Reject	Set accepted format/track + comment → Confirm Acceptance/Rejection
Request Revision	Instructions (required) + due date → Send Revision Request
Reopen	Only on Accepted/Rejected/Withdrawn — reason (required) → Reopen

One abstract at a time — no bulk actions. Drawer tabs: Details, Documents, Reviews, Decision & Audit (full timeline).

Reviewers

Event sidebar → Reviewers → Invite Reviewer (First name, Last name, Email, Institution, Specialty) → Send Invite. Sends a magic-link login — no password.

Row action	Effect
Resend Link	New login link emailed
Revoke	Reviewer can no longer log in

Assign a reviewer to a specific abstract: open the abstract → Details tab → Reviewer Assignments → pick from Assign a reviewer → Assign. Remove to unassign.

If a reviewer says their link doesn't work: there's no password to reset — check if the link expired or was already used, then Resend Link.
