Configuration of the Review Forms in ConfTool Pro
ConfTool Pro offers many options to adapt the review forms to your requirements. Here you can find answers on the most frequent questions.
First of all, the system provides three standard review forms you can choose from. Below is a list of these three forms (in English).
You can set the preferred review form per conference track / submission type (see image below). Please go to "Settings" => "Manage Submission Types and Conference Tracks" to edit your submission type. If we developed a customized review form for you, you can find the according form "class name" here, too.
The setting "Double Blind Reviews" allows to hide authors names from reviewers, but please note that this will (of course) not remove any author information from the submitted files. Only the file names are anonymized.
"Comments for the authors" allows to set if the text field for the reviewers' comments is visible and required for reviewers.
For the "Detailed" and the "Simple" forms the "weight factors" for each of the criteria can be set, too. Please go to "Settings" => "Factors for Reviews" to set the weight factors for each criterion. You can also disable criteria here. Please note that we do not recommend to set the "Overall recommendation" to 0%, as this might be confusing or lead to (logically) inconsistent review results. If you click on "Edit Phrase" you can edit the wordings of each factor (please see image below). If you do any updates, please test them!
There are more settings on this page, mainly for the "Detailed" review form. If you go to the other pages of the section "Parameters for the Reviewing Functions of ConfTool" you find more (advanced) options.
