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.

Export All Submissions

Click "Export" in the top-right of the Submissions finder and choose CSV or JSON to download every submission across your tracks in one file — no need to export each track separately and stitch the files together. The export always covers all submissions you can see, whatever search or filter is active.

The file is named {conference}-submissions-{date}.csv (or .json). Conference chairs get every track; track chairs get only the tracks they manage.

For a single track's export with assignment counts and the decision maker, use the track's own Export instead.

Download All Submission Files

Click "Download Files" next to Export to get every uploaded submission file across your tracks as one ZIP archive. A dialog first shows the number of submissions, files, and the estimated size; click "Download ZIP" to start.

The archive is named {conference}-submission-files-{date}.zip. With more than one track, each submission folder sits inside its track's folder, so the two never mix:

icmr2027-submission-files-2026-09-13.zip
├── consumer-behavior/
│   ├── icmr2027-1/
│   │   ├── icmr2027-1-info.txt
│   │   ├── icmr2027-1-info.csv
│   │   └── paper.pdf
│   └── ...
├── digital-marketing/
│   ├── icmr2027-9/
│   └── ...
└── _download-errors.txt        # Only present if any files failed to download

Each submission folder holds the same info files and uploads as the per-track download. Conference chairs get every track; track chairs get only the tracks they manage.
