How to manage multiple deadlines

Some event have different deadlines. For example, submissions for oral presentations sometimes finish earlier than for posters. Here's how to manage this.

1. Add a custom field asking for the presentation type. Use either a Multiple choice or Checkboxes, depending if you allow to choose one or many submission types. It will look like this.
2. For each individual option (Poster, Oral presentation, etc.), you can click edit.
3. In the side-panel, check Availability period, and define the Available from and/or Not available from dates.

Outside of these dates, the specific option will not be available.
