Different opions in configuration form of MyReview

The system comes with a set of parameters with default values which must be updated to reflect the configuration of you own installation. This can be done with the Web Configuration Form, accessible from the Configuration menu. Here is a list of the configuration parameters:

• Conference acronym: Used as a short identification of the conference.
• Conference name: Full name of the conference.
• URL of the submission site: This is the URL of your installation of MyReview. It is used as a base URL in several mails and HTML links, so it is very important to give it the correct value.
• URL of the conference site: URL of the main conference site.
• Conference mail: Used as the ’From’ and ’Reply-to’ value for mails.
• Chair mail: Used to send copies of mails .
• Workflow status: The submission process is divided in several phases. For maximal flexibility, phases can be opened/closed independently from one another.

1. Is submission open?  When ’No’, the submission form is no longer accessible. Switch from ’Yes’ to ’No’ to close the submission phase.
2. Is reviewing open? When ’No’, reviewers cannot access their assigned papers or the review form.
3. Is selection open? Not used at present.
4. Is proceedings preparation open? When ’Y’, authors of accepted submissions can upload their camera-ready files.

• Blind review : When this option is set (’Yes’), authors’ names are hidden from all the output shown to the reviewers. However, names are never hidden to administrators.
• Assignment mode: Submissions are assigned to PC members for evaluation. The assignment process can be driven by the topics, or by the preferences (bids) of reviewers when they are allowed to browse the list of submissions (default mode).
• Discussion mode: Three possibilities:

1. None (the default). A reviewer cannot see the other reviews.
2. Local. Each reviewer can see the other reviews for the papers that s/he has to evaluate, a nd a forum is opened for each paper.
3. Global. Each reviewer can see all the other reviews, including those that s/he did not evaluate, excepted the papers that have been declared to be in conflict.

• Nb reviewers per paper: Number of reviewers which must be assigned to each paper.
• Max words in abstract: This defines the maximal number of words in an abstract.
• Mail on abstract submission: If ’Yes’, a copy of the acknowledgment mail (to the contact author) is sent to the PC chair when an abstract is submitted.
• Mail on paper upload: If ’Yes’, a copy of the acknowledgment mail is sent to the PC chair when a paper is down-loaded.
• Mail on review submission: If ’Yes’, a copy of the review is sent to the PC chair when a review is submitted.
• Submission deadline: The date is for information purposes. It will be displayed in templates associated to the paper submission process. Note that the submission is not automatically closed when the deadline is over.
• Review deadline: The date is for information purposes. It will be displayed in templates associated to the review submission process.
• Camera-ready deadline: The date is for information purposes. It will be displayed in the notification mails.
