Managing all abstract submissions as an administrator.

Admin View

The admin view is available to users with the Abstracts - Admin policy. It shows every submission regardless of review status.

The submissions table

ColumnDescription

Filtering

  • Search — filter by title keyword
  • Status — filter by submission status
  • Category — filter by scientific category
  • Page size — choose 10, 25, 100, or 1000 rows per page

Viewing a submission

Click any row to open the submission modal. This shows:

  • Category and Title — read only
  • Abstract body — full text, read only
  • Authors — list with editable Title, Name, and Institution fields
  • Keywords — shown as tags, read only
  • Figures — any supporting images and their reference labels
  • Conflict of Interest Declaration — whether a conflict was declared, and the disclosure text if so
  • Average Score — read only, calculated from reviewers' overall scores
  • Reviewer list — each reviewer, their overall score (or "Assigned — not yet reviewed" if they haven't scored it yet), and their comments. If the congress uses a custom grading system, each reviewer's card also shows a per-criterion breakdown — the rating and score they gave for each criterion.

Changing submission status

Click the Status badge in the table directly, or open the submission modal. Available statuses:

Score aggregation

With a custom grading system, a reviewer's overall score for a submission is calculated from their per-criterion ratings using the congress's configured aggregation method:

MethodCalculation
SumTotal of all criterion scores
AverageAverage of all criterion scores, weighted by each criterion's weight if set
MaxHighest single criterion score
MinLowest single criterion score

The Avg Score shown in the submissions table and submission modal is then the average of all reviewers' overall scores for that submission.

Metrics

Users with the Abstracts - Metrics policy see an aggregate statistics view instead of the submissions table. This shows totals by status, category, and review progress — useful for progress reporting to the scientific committee.
