Create reviewers

To make an already existing author in your congress a reviewer, first go to the 'People' list in the Abstract Module.

Select an author and click the 'Add' button. Select the reviewer option in the next screen.

Now this person is both an author and a reviewer.

It is also possible to create new reviewers manually or import reviewers.
More info about importing reviewers are on this page.
To add reviewers manually, go to the list of 'People' in the review module. Next, click the 'Add Reviewer' button in the top of the screen.

Here, you can fill out the Personal information of the reviewer and assign topics for which (s)he has to review the abstracts and/or the session proposals.

The second tab of the reviewer page shows the Assigned abstracts that are linked to the reviewer according to the topic selection.

Please use the 'Assign abstracts' button to add or remove abstracts from this reviewer.

The third tab of the reviewer page shows the Assigned session proposals (only applicable with the setting in the review module settings) that are linked to the reviewer according to the topic selection.
Click the 'Assign session proposals' button to add or remove proposals from this reviewer, just like as described above at the assigning of the abstracts.
Please note that the session proposals are not automatically added to the reviewer. This has to be done manually.

The fourth tab of the reviewer page shows the Assigned grant applications (only applicable with the setting in the review module settings) that are linked to the reviewer.
Click the 'Assign grant applications' button to add or remove grants from this reviewer, just like as described above at the assigning of the abstracts.
Please note that the grant applications are not automatically added to the reviewer. This has to be done manually.

The grant applications are ordered by country. You can choose to order them by ID by clicking the button.

The 'Mailings' tab of the reviewer editor displays an overview of all the mailings that have been sent out to this reviewer.

If you would like to view the associated email template for this mailing, simply click on the title of the template in the overview.
