Manage Additional Conference Fields

In manage additional conference fields, you can setup dynamic fields for the submission. Currently a Submission has a title and an abstract every further field your authors should fill out should be defined here. For example number of pages, contribution or benefit. You can edit, add and delete these fields. The field type can't be changed after it was set once! It is not recommended to add or delete fields for a conference, once it has submissions. As authors wont see these fields during their submission creation.

There are currently the following settings possible:

• FieldName: Defines the name of the field the authors see during creation/edit of the submission. It must be unique for a conference.
• FieldType: Defines the type of the field. There are currently 4 different types of fields:
  • Textbox: The Textbox is a small one line box where a user can enter any text (no text length restriction).
  • TextArea: The Textarea is a multi line box where a user can enter any text (no text length restriction).
  • ComboBox: The Combobox is a drop down box where a user can choose one of the possible answers [Example]. These possible answers can be set in Values for Combobox. Eg. "Option1;Option2;Option3"
  • Checkbox: The checkbox is a box where a user can check the box or don't (boolean yes or no) [Example].
• Description: there you can enter a description about the field, what you expect the author to enter here.
• Values for Combobox: Here you can enter the values a author can choose from, when you choose the Combobox.
