Admin: Removing submission from a Panel
As the main conference Admin, you can see and remove submissions that have been contributed to any Panel.
Note: Only conference administrators (chairs and assistants) can remove a submission from a panel.
There are two ways of finding and removing submissions from the Panel:
- Removing panel contributions from the Panels list
- Removing panel contributions from the Submissions list
Removing panel contributions from the Panels list
From the Panels list search by the panel ID, Panel Title or Organiser.
When you find the Panel that holds submissions you would like to remove, click on the Panel title to expand the view.
In the expanded view, you will see all Panel Contributions that belong to this panel. Click on the title that needs to be removed.
A screen with all contribution details will open. In the bottom left-hand corner, admins will see the option to remove a contribution from a panel. Click on Remove from Panel if you would like to continue.
After an admin removes a contribution from the panel, that submission will receive a Pending status. This is because a Submission removed from a panel loses panel topics. Authors can complete the submission as an individual contribution, choose to withdraw or simply leave it incomplete.
To submit a contribution as an individual submission for the conference, authors will need to log in again and pick new topics for their submission. Authors won't be automatically notified about this action. You will need to email them from Ex Ordo system.
Removing panel contributions from the Submissions list
From the List of Initial Submissions, you can search by Submission ID, author name, submission title or panel title to find the panel contribution you would like to remove from a panel. When you find what you need to remove, click on the submission title to expand the view.
Note: You cannot search for Panel IDs in the List of Submissions.
Next, click on Remove from Panel in the bottom right-hand corner. Only admins are able to take this action.
You will then see a warning screen as below. Once you remove a contribution from the panel, that submission will receive a Pending status. This is because a Submission removed from a panel loses the Panel topics.
To submit a contribution as an individual submission for the conference, authors will need to log in again and pick new topics for their submission. Authors won't be automatically notified about this action. You will need to email them from Ex Ordo system.
Adding submission back to the Panel
There is no action button in the Ex Ordo system that adds a submission back to the panel automatically. The contribution will have to be resubmitted to the panel from the first step.
