Reviewers

Quick Tips

To add a new reviewer, click Add New (at the end of the "Reviewer List" heading).
To edit an existing reviewer's record, click under Actions in the Reviewer List panel.
Both actions open an Add Reviewer or Edit Reviewer pop-up window.
To run Mass Actions, select the reviewers and click Mass Actions.
The Reviewers page is part of the Speaker and Session Management module.
The Conference Sessions sub-module must be enabled for the event in Plan > Configure > Options > Functional Areas Needed by the Event.
Reviewer records are automatically added to the account's Profile database.
An administrator can anonymize a reviewer's record if asked to do so.
Anonymization removes Personal Identifying Information (PII) and can deactivate the record.
See Profile Anonymization for details.

On this page you add, edit and view reviewers in Speaker and Session Management.
That module and its "Conference Sessions" sub-module must be enabled for the event in Plan > Configure > Options > Functional Areas Needed by the Event.
Note: Reviewer records are automatically added to the account's Profile database, with additional information on this Reviewers page.
An administrator is therefore able to "anonymize" a reviewer's record if asked to do so.
This includes removing all Personal Identifying Information (PII) and optionally deactivating the record.
See Profile Anonymization.

Reviewers may edit their own records via the Reviewer Portal – the same place they review the papers assigned to them.

The buttons in the upper right corner are: Add New, Import, and Export.
Add New adds a new reviewer in the Add Reviewer pop-up window.
Import imports reviewers from an Excel file or a CSV file.
Export exports all reviewers to an Excel file or a CSV file.
Exported files place multiple values in a single column, with the values separated by a pipe (|) character.
If a filter is applied to the list, the same filter applies to the export.
The Mass Actions button is disabled until reviewers are selected in the Reviewer List.

By default, all reviewers are listed.
To filter the list, enter values in the search fields and click the magnifying glass.
Click the X to clear any filters applied.
Filter options include Track, Tier, Reviewer Name, and More.
Fields are added in which values can be typed.

The list shows columns: First Name, Last Name, Organization, Email, Tier, Track(s), and Actions.
Actions include: View the reviewer's details, Edit the reviewer's details, and Delete the reviewer.
Warning: Deleting a reviewer deletes their reviews and may change session statistics.

To import reviewers, click the Import button (top right).
The import file must be an Excel file (.xls or .xlsx) or a CSV file (.csv).
The import file must include all required fields: First Name, Last Name, Email, Tier, and Track(s).
If Track(s) has more than one value, import those values in one cell, separated by a pipe.
Fields must match validations described in Add Reviewer or Edit Reviewer.
The Username must be unique in the account.
The import can result in two outcomes: a new reviewer with no existing Profile record; or a new reviewer with an existing Profile record.
If a new reviewer is imported with an existing Profile record in the account, the new details merge into the existing profile, and a new reviewer record is added to the event.
You cannot change a Username via a Reviewer import.
The import file cannot include a Profile Picture.
Tip: Download the template Excel file from Step 1 to populate the import.
