How to unassign abstracts from reviewers?

Abstracts which are assigned wont be unassigned from someone automatically even if they have updated their topics/expertise. The reasons include that they may have already submitted reviews on some of those abstracts, they may have wrongly changed the topic among other possible reasons we never made the unassignment automatic.

For unassigning abstracts manually, you can do either of the following:

Method 1:

Go to Manage/Assign abstracts

Select abstracts which you want to unassign (you can select up to 30 abstracts at once)

Click on “Assign Reviewers” button in the top right corner

Select the reviewer/s you want to unassign from the selected abstracts

Click Unassign

Method 2:

Go to Contacts

Search for the reviewer whom you want to unassign abstracts

Click on Reviewer’s name to go to their profile

Click on Reviews tab

Click on Unassign button to unassign abstracts one by one

Method 3:

Go to Manage/Assign abstracts

Search for the abstract from which you wish to unassign reviewer

Click on Reviewers & Reviews tab

Click on Delete icon besides the name of the Reviewer whom you wish to unassign from this abstract

How to import/update abstracts using CSV file?

One can use the import tool to import abstracts into Dryfta, update multiple abstracts’ status, assign multiple abstracts to multiple reviewers, add co-authors and more.

Here’s how to import abstracts:

Go to Abstracts & Reviews > Import Abstracts > Update Abstracts tab and download the sample file. Open the downloaded file and arrange it with abstract title, abstract description, author name and email address.  Then, go back to Update Abstracts tab and import your updated sample file (make sure it is saved in CSV format). 

Notes:

  • The existing submission type cannot be updated. 
  • Update only those information which are associated with the submission type of the given abstract. 
  • Make sure that the default columns are intact.

  

  

How to add fields to be displayed under specific submission type?

If you want to display specific set of fields for this submission type, do the following:

1. Go to Form builder > abstract submission form

2. Click on Add new field


3. Select a field type and add required information and in right side section, select the submission type where you want this field to be displayed


4. Click on Save.

This field would now display when author selects this submission type.

Do not see the Submit abstract button in abstract submission form? Here’s why:

Here’re four reasons why you do not see the Submit abstract button in your abstract submission form: 

1. The abstract submission is only enabled for authors who paid the abstract submission fee. Look under Abstract Settings. See screenshot below.

2. Global abstract submission deadline has lapsed. Look under Abstract Settings. See screenshot below.

3. The selected submission type’s date has lapsed. Look under Submission Types. See screenshot below.

4. The selected submission type is not allowed for the usertype currently logged-in. Look under Submission Types. See screenshot below.

What is the difference between a ticket and registration?

In order to submit abstracts or to show interest in event, one has to create an account first using the registration form. 

To become an attendee at the event, one has to purchase the tickets. Or to submit an abstract which requires author to pay a fee, one has to purchase tickets. That’s basically the reason why Dryfta platform has separate options to register and to purchase tickets.


You have the option to either ask users to register first and then purchase a ticket, Or you can disable the registration button (from Website builder > Navigation) to let users purchase a ticket first and then system shall register them automatically and send their login credentials to them. 

You also have the option to let users register and then automatically redirect them to purchase the tickets on the tickets page. Go to Form builder > Form settings and under contact registration form, enter the URL where you want users to be redirected on form submission.


Registration get users the username/password to log in to their dashboard on the event website to update their profile, purchase and download tickets and invoices, submit abstracts, submit reviews, enable public profile, disable notifications etc.
