What this system does#

2 min read

A one-minute overview of the paper evaluation system and the people who use it.

This is the online paper evaluation system used by the conference. It replaces the paper forms that session chairs used to fill in by hand: every presentation is scored on the same seven criteria, the forms are stored on the conference server the moment they are sent, and the organizers can download all of them as a single Excel report.

Organizers load the program, chairs evaluate each paper, the system produces the Excel reportOrganizersload the programregister the chairsSession chairlogs in, runs the sessionprojects certificatesEvaluation form7 scores, commentsBest Paper voteExcel reportall forms + averagesand the rankingFrom the program to the resultsinvitation emailone per presented paper
The whole system in one line: program in, evaluations during the sessions, report out.

Who does what

  • Organizers (admin) create the conference, load the program, register the session chairs and send them their invitations.
  • Session chairs open the evaluation link, enter their details and submit one form per presented paper.
  • The system stores every form twice — as a database record and as a printable file named after the session and paper (for example F1-52) — and turns them into the Excel report and the Best Paper ranking.

What makes it different from an ordinary web form

  • A chair only ever sees their own sessions, and only in their own conference.
  • A form can be re-opened and corrected until the organizers export the results.
  • One installation runs several conferences side by side, each with its own program, chairs, certificates and report.
New here? If you are a session chair, the fastest path is Opening the form → The evaluation form.

Opening the evaluation form#

2 min read

Chairs open one link, enter their details and start scoring papers. No password.

There are two separate doors into the system.

Session chairs

Open the address in your invitation email (or the link the organizers sent). There is no password. If you open the site without a conference in the address, pick your conference from the list first. The form then asks for:

  1. Your first name, last name, email, phone and university or company.
  2. Your title (Prof. Dr., Associate Prof. Dr., Dr., or Industry).
  3. The session number and title, then each paper (ID, title, presenter, scores).
If your name or email was loaded from the organizers’ Excel, choosing your session lists the papers already in that session. You can still add a paper by hand.

Organizers

The admin panel lives at /admin/ and has its own username and password, set by the organizers when the system was installed. There is a link to it at the bottom of the evaluation form.

If the evaluation link does not open, or the form will not submit.

The evaluation form does not use a password. If you cannot start, work through this list.

What is probably wrongWhat to do
The link is missing or expired in email. Ask the organizers to copy the evaluation form link from the Chairs page again.
The form asks for a conference that is not yours. Use the link that contains your conference code (for example yourconference2026).
Submit is blocked because a required field is empty. First name, last name, email, phone, affiliation, title, session, and every paper field (including comments and a recommendation) are required.
Your session is not in the list. Tell the organizers — they assign sessions from the Excel upload or the Chairs page.
The conference was closed by the organizers after the event. The form is unavailable for a closed conference. Contact the organizers.

Keyboard shortcuts#

Every shortcut in the system, with the pages each one works on.

Shortcuts are optional — everything they do is also a button. They are switched off while you are typing in a text box, so they never eat what you write.

Press ? anywhere in the system to pop this list up over the page you are on.

The two worth learning

  • Ctrl+K — the command palette. Type a page name, a guide topic, or a paper number or title, and jump straight there. It is the fastest route to anything.
  • ? — the shortcut list, so you never have to remember the rest.

On a Mac, use ⌘ wherever Ctrl is written.
