Create Conference

With Create Conference the admin can create a new Conference. All settings can be modified by the admin later. Although some should NOT be modified (only in certain cases) once the conference runs.

• Shortname: The shortname is the unique! identifier for the conference. This identifier will be used for the URL generation, short links in the system and internal for the access management. It is suggested not to change this value once the conference runs. As users who are logged in an watch the current conference will get broken links (until they refreshed), the access rights will be modified and the sent emails from the system will not work.

• Hide Conference: Hide conference hides the conference from all non admin users. This means you can setup the conference, check if everything is working. It is even possible to give eg. chairs the link to the conference to see if everything is fine, as it is only hidden not locked.

• Name: The long name of the conference. Will be seen in the overview of the conference.

• Description: Here you can enter a short description about the conference. This info will be seen on the conference info page. HTML & Javascript enabled!

• Prefix: The prefix is the prefix for the submission. Standardprefix is paper, so the submission will be named paper1000, paper1001 and so on. Do not use digits in prefix: For example use "FP-first" and "FP-second" instead of "FP1" and "FP2". Here like with the conference shortname it is not recommended to change the settings as again the URLs and internal rights are bound to the prefix. It is possible though.

• Submission Publication Length: The maximum amount of pages a paper may have. During the submission phase the user gets a warning when the publication length is not met. During the CRC Phase the publication length is enforced when checkAmountPages is checked.

• Submission Deadline: The submission deadline is the date when no further submissions/content can be uploaded. Submissions in CRC phase, chairs and admins can overrule this exception. When a submission enters the review phase the submission is locked for the user, so he can't modify/delete it. Then if the chair wants a second/third submission phase the deadline must be extended, so the author can upload another submission. (Time to enter is local time (Austria/ Germany), time shown is UTC.)

• Instruction: The instruction is the longer description. It can be accessed from /COMFy/Conference/<ConferenceShortName>/Instruction. Here is like in Description HTML & Javascript enabled!

• is Review Visible: sets the reviews visible for the author. When this field is checked, the author can see the reviews in his submission. Only the fields (and comments) of the review fields which have Visible for Author = true.

• AbstractDeadline: The abstract deadline, after this date it is not allowed for authors to change the abstract or the title.

• IsAbstractDeadlineStrict: If this checkbox is set, the abstract deadline is enforced. Otherwise the abstract deadline is ignored.

• SRM Email: The email where the user can get SRMv2 Help.

• chair Email: The email for chairs. One Email! most of the time for a mailinglist entry for chairs.

• Assign Email Text: The text the user gets presented when he assigns other users. Wildcards are possible.

• activated Bidding: sets the bidding active. When activated the IPC member can set conflicts edit the area of preferences and bid on the papers.

• activated Rebuttal: When activated the user gets presented a link in his submission, where he can enter a one time complaint. This complaint may not have more than 100 words.

• Uses IPC Uploader: presents the IPC member with a link in their IPC home where they can access the IPC uploader. There they can upload there their paper. They must be imported with "get IPCs from Comfy" in the IPC uploader to activate their account.

• checkAmountPages: sets if the amount of pages should be checked or not in the CRC phase. (they will get notified in the submission phase regardless). Its not possible for the author to upload then a paper in the CRC phase with a larger amount of pages.

• checkPagesize: sets if the Pagesize should be checked on the CRC upload. If there then there are no fonts embedded the paper gets refused.

• pageSize: the entry for the Pagesize: "612 x 792" for letter, "595 x 841" for A4 or "(no_check)" for ignoring the Size.

• checkEmbeddedFonts: sets if the fonts should be embedded in the CRC upload. If there then there are no fonts embedded the paper gets refused.

• checkCMYKColorSpace: sets if the paper should be in the CMYK color space. If there then there are no fonts embedded the paper gets refused.

• Image: sets a small image for the conference. Otherwise a standard image will be presented.

View User Database

This shows all current users. It is the implementation of the [Add User ] implementation. With the exception that the admin can see on this page also other admins. Other users (chair, authors, ...) wont see admins there. It is possible to search and sort for each of the entries. There are three different functions:

• Edit: Can edit the userprofile of a user, (inclusive the admin can reject the accepted review agreement).

• Delete user: a user is deleted and all his dependencies too. (check to confirm).

• Login as other user. The admin will be logged into the user. (and see everything this user sees, and access everywhere the user has access to).

mergeUser

It is further possible to merge two users together. If one has two accounts. The user on the top, will get his rights removed, the user on the bottom will get all additional access rights. The user will currently NOT be deleted after the merge.
