Buttons
The Mass Actions button in the upper right corner is similar to the one on the Sessions page.
Mass Actions is disabled until you have selected sessions to process in bulk.
Mass Actions runs on selected sessions.
The three buttons at the top right of the list of sessions determine the list displayed: SUBMITTED, REVIEW, APPROVED.
SUBMITTED lists the sessions that have not yet been qualified (status Submitted).
REVIEW lists the sessions with a status of Under Review.
APPROVED lists the sessions that have been approved (status Qualified, Published, or Scheduled).
Submitted Session List
A list of sessions with a status of Submitted.
These are usually those that have been submitted via the online Speakers and Sessions Speaker Portal and have not yet been passed to a tier for review.
A planner may also change a session’s status back to Submitted from a more advanced status by editing the session.
Note: Selected by default if Submitted is greater than zero.
Filter
By default, all submitted sessions 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.)
What happens if I filter on more than one selection?

Actions
Actions include:
Accept: Moves the session to Status "Qualified".
Reject: Moves the session to Status "Rejected".
Send to Review: If your event has multiple Tiers, select the tier to send the session to for review.
If your event has only one tier, it is selected automatically.
The reviewer(s) assigned to the selected tier will then be able to review the session using the Reviewer Portal.
The planner would have used this page to do that.
Note: The wording and icons reflect the page you are viewing.
Under Review Session List
A list of sessions with a status of Under Review.
These are usually those that a planner passed to a tier for review on the Reviewer Portal.
Note: Selected by default if Submitted is zero.
Recommendations
Click Recommendations to see how many sessions have met any of the recommendation criteria set for the review tier on the Speakers and Sessions Session Reviews Tiers.
In the pop-up window:
Show Me – View a list of those sessions.
Process – Process those recommendations automatically.
Note: When a session on the final tier has a recommendation to advance it to the next tier, that is equivalent to a recommendation to approve it. So Process would move such a session to a status of Qualified.
Note: The Recommendations button is disabled if no criteria have been met.
In the pop-up window:
