Reviewer Groups

1 min read

Use Reviewer Groups to organize and assign reviewers to CFP submissions. You can set review limits, control what reviewers see, and assign them to specific forms.

To Set Up a Reviewer Group:

  1. Click “Add Reviewer Group” and give it a name (e.g., “Panel A”).
  2. Set the minimum required reviews per reviewer – This is the minimum number of applications each reviewer in the group must review.
  3. Set the application review limit – This is the maximum number of reviews each application can receive.
    • For example: If the limit is set to 10, once 10 different reviewers have submitted comments on a single application, it will automatically close for further review. No additional feedback can be added after that point.
  4. Select the form(s) you want the group to review.
  5. Assign which submissions the group should review, either:Image 19

Invite Reviewers:

  • Copy and share the unique group link via email or chat.Image 21 1

Reviewing Submissions:

  • Reviewers access only their assigned submissions.
  • First-time reviewers must create a login. CFP logins are separate from standard Sched logins.
  • Reviewers can:
    • Read session details
    • Rate submissions (star rating)
    • Leave comments

Managing Reviews:

  • All feedback appears in the Applications section.Image 22 1
  • Two feedback types:
    • Comments – Internal notes from event planners (visible only to admins).
    • Reviews – Reviews – Ratings and feedback from external reviewers (visible to admins and to reviewers assigned to that applicant; reviewers cannot see ratings submitted by others).Image 23 1
Note: For new submissions, manually add them to groups or wait until all submissions are in before sharing reviewer links.
