New Features
Submissions
Abstract
Disable topic, subtopic, type JMT-18605
We added options in the requirements-section of an abstract submission to enable or disable the selection of a type, topic or subtopic.
Session Submission
Sub-Sessions
Often used for workshops, a container-like session is used to group multiple sessions. You can connect two session submissions, while one is the “parent“-session, and the other for the “sub-session“.
If the submitter decides to withdraw a sub-session, it will be removed from the submitters view on the sub-sessions but still be visible in the Session manager → Session edit → Sub-Sessions.
This feature is currently only supported in the submission process. PAG and Onsite systems can’t handle this at the moment and the sessions will appear as normal sessions and might also cause collisions in the program.
People-step JMT-18281
Used for “Speakers on session-level“. In case you need to have sessions without presentations.
This feature is currently only supported in the submission process. PAG and Onsite systems can’t handle this at the moment and the people will appear as session chairs.
Multilevel Keywords JMT-18284
Sessions now support keywords in the submission process. These keywords can also have multiple levels. They are defined in Submissions → Metadata → Keywords.
If keywords have multiple levels, they will appear as a tree selection in the submission process.
This feature is currently only supported in the submission process. PAG and Onsite systems can’t handle this at the moment keywords will not appear in a tree structure.

We added additional fields that can be utilized in the session submission.
