If you have the enabled Abstracts and are receiving a huge number of submissions, you will require a smart and efficient way to manage those submissions for the review and approval process. Eventify offers the option to set up your team of reviewers.
And here's the best part: the incoming abstracts will be distributed among them based on the distribution algorithm you choose.
When creating or managing abstracts, navigate to the 'Add Reviewer' step: go to Registration > Call for Proposals (v2) > Abstract List and create or open an abstract. Here, you have the option to enlist a team of reviewers to handle these submissions.
Choose between 'Random Distribution' or 'Round Robin'. New reviewers are added from Registration > Call for Proposals (v2) > Reviewers with the Send Reviewer Invite button.
Enter the Basic Details: Start by providing the email, first name, last name, and access password for the reviewer you want to add.
Select Reviewers: From the Available Reviewers list, pick the ones you want to assign for this abstract.
Save or Skip: If you're all set and ready to go, click Save & Next to save your selected assignments and move on to the next step. This step is optional, so you can also assign reviewers later.
Review Criteria
To set the rules for reviewing those abstracts! Here's how to do it:
Criteria Name: Define the key parameters you want to judge in the submitted abstracts. You can add or remove parameters based on what you're looking for.
Review Response Type: Choose how reviewers answer each parameter: Point Range 1-5, Point Range 1-10, Text Input Field for a written comment, or Accept / Reject for a simple decision.
Save & Next: Once you've set up the review criteria, click Save & Next to move forward to the next step.
