You can enable a
separate section on the submission form to ask for the “
presentation mode”. Alternatively, you can enable a
separate page and phase allowing authors to enter and/or update their preferred “presentation mode”.
To activate this option, please first go to:
Overview => Settings => Main Settings for Paper and Abstract Submission... and enable the expert settings on the bottom of the page by clicking on "Expert Settings Disabled" or the cogwheel. Continue to select an appropriate setting for the option 'Enable Selection of the "Presentation Mode"' (see image 1).
You have three options:
- No -> The presentation mode will not be enabled. This is the default.
- Yes -> The presentation mode will be enabled and an additional section asking for the presentation mode will appear on the submission form (see image 2).
- Yes, and enable an extra page and phase to allow authors to select their presentation mode separately. -> The presentation mode will be enabled and appear on a separate page for each submission. This can be helpful if you want to have a separate phase during which you want to ask for the presentation mode or if you decide to ask for the presentation mode after the initial submission is already over (see image 3).
Once you have activated the selection of the presentation mode, continue to create and configure the different modes.
The new option for managing your presentation modes appears here:
Overview => Settings => Manage Presentation ModesClick on “Create Presentation Mode” to generate a new mode (see image 4).
After that, adjust the settings for each track:
Overview => Settings => Manage Submission Types / Conference TracksScroll to the option “Presentation Modes” and make a selection.
You have to
enable presentation modes for each track, can select the
maximum number of modes to select and also define the
position on the submission form (see image 5).
Finally, if you have chosen “Yes, and enable an extra page and phase to allow authors to select their presentation mode separately”, please
activate the corresponding
phase here:
Overview => Settings => Conference Phases and Deadlines Please go to the section “Presentation Mode Update”, enable the module via the toggle switch and set a start date and an end date (see image 6).
If you have chosen an extra page for the presentation mode update and defined a general phase for that function, you can set an
alternative deadline for each track separately:
Overview => Settings => Manage Submission Types / Conference TracksPlease go to the section “Deadline for Presentation Mode Updates” and via the option “Alternative Deadline for Presentation Mode Updates” activate and define an alternative earlier deadline for this track (see image 7).
Please
test your new settings by submitting a test submission or logging in as an author who has already submitted a proposal and now is supposed to enter the presentation mode.
