Adding additional Review slots

Sometimes your Reviewers don't quite agree on the scores and you need to add another reviewer to make a judgment call. Or you just need your Oral submissions to be reviewed three times and Posters only by two reviewers. That's possible now by using bulk action for assigning more review slots as explained below. Additional slots can be added only by the Conference admins and Track chairs. Review group chairs don't have this option available.

Adding Review slots after the allocation

From your Submissions list in the Review hub use bulk action to mark submissions that need additional slots. You can also use All Formats filter to filter out only Oral Submissions for example.

Once you've selected submissions that need additional slots by using a bulk action you will see a few new filters at the top of the list - Add Review Slots being one of them:

The new screen will open up for you and you can then decide on the number of Review slots you would like to add. Pick a number from a dropdown and hit Yes, Add Slots:

The system will work in the background and once ready it will ask you to confirm the action. You must select View Submissions as this will actually refresh the page and show you the changes you've made.

Adding Review slots while in Review

If you already started the review and you have some submissions that need additional slots you can still add them if:

A Submission doesn't have a decision yet.

Find submissions that need additional slots and use a bulk action to select them. You will see a new Actions menu, where you can pick to Add Review Slots:

The new screen same as above will open up for you and you can then decide on the number of Review slots you would like to add. Pick a number from a dropdown and hit Yes, Add Slots:

Don't forget to select View Submissions as this will actually refresh the page and show you the changes you've made. And remember - Additional slots will be only created on submissions without a decision.
