Find People and Submissions

When a reviewer emails you about their assignments, or an author asks where their paper stands, you usually have a name — not a track. The People and Submissions finders search across every track you manage from one place.

Open the Finders

1. Go to Conferences in the sidebar, click your conference, then open Conference Dashboard
2. Click "People" or "Submissions" in the top-right of the dashboard header

Find a Person

Type a name, email address, or affiliation into the search box. Full names work in either order, and partial typing works too — "sarah j" finds Sarah Johnson.

Each result is one person, with everything they do in your conference:

• A row per track showing their roles there (Reviewer, Associate Editor, Senior Editor, Track Chair) — the track name links to that track's committee page, where actions like reminding or removing live
• Review workload for reviewers: pending, accepted, and delegated assignments, plus completed reviews
• Authored submissions with their current status — several submissions collapse into a one-line summary you can expand

Use "Filters" to narrow by role or track. Conference chairs see every track; track chairs see only the tracks they manage.

Find a Submission

The Submissions finder searches every track at once, by three things:

• Title — any word from the title
• ID — type 21 or #21 to match the exact submission ID (it won't match IDs that merely contain the digits)
• Author — name or email, same matching as the People finder

Each row shows the submission ID, any chair tags, the decision or status badge, the authors, and the track it belongs to. Click "View" to open the submission inside its track.

Use "Filters" to narrow by status or track.
