Approvals and Recommendations

Session Reviewers are able to make recommendations based on their reviews and/or scoring of a session. Every tier supports adding a recommendation.

Create a Recommendation

1. Navigate to Manage > Speakers and Sessions > Session Reviews > Tiers.

2. Edit a Tier or select Add New.

3. Select Add Recommendation.

4. Set For Column to use as the basis for approval.

The selected column must be a s core or numeric Custom Field of class "Session Review".

5. Set the value for approval, either using average score or percentage of reviews:

Average Score is above: Select a score between 1 and 10.
OR the Percentage of Reviews completed is: Select a percentage between 1 and 100.

6. Select the action to perform if the approval criteria is met:

Target Tier: If selected, you must also select a tier. The recommendation will be to move the session on to that tier for review.
Approve: If selected, the recommendation will be to approve the session. This means changing its status to Qualified.
Example: With a multi-tier review system, you can set the sessions to move from tier 1 to tier 2 based on the percentage/average.
Example: If it is the final tier, or you are using a single tier system, you can set the session to be approved based on the recommendation percentage/average.

7. Optionally, set Process Recommendations Automatically.

If selected, the recommendations for sessions that have met their criteria are processed automatically within an hour or so.
If left clear, Sessions Reviews > Manage Reviews is where you can see and need to process recommendations.
