Each submission is automatically assigned a Submission Number, which helps identify and organize submissions within your event. Organizers can edit these numbers manually to suit their specific needs.
How submission numbers work by default
By default, submission numbers are assigned in the order submissions are received:
The first submission = 1
The second submission = 2
And so on...

FAQ
Why would I want to edit the submission number?
The submission number controls the order of presentations on the Presentation page. Presentations are sorted alphanumerically based on this value.
This means you can:
Group posters by theme (e.g.,
BIO-1,BIO-2for Molecular Biology)Control presentation flow for sessions
Match submission numbers to physical poster boards
Does changing the number affect anything else?
It changes the display order on the Presentation page and the way submissions are identified. It also orders presentations within a session when they have the same presentation time, and orders the abstract booklet when you sort it by Submission number.
How does alphanumeric sorting work?
Alphanumeric sorting follows this general rule:
Numbers come before letters. For example, this is the order:
1
2
10
A1
B1
BIO-1
BIO-2
BIO-10
To keep things consistent, especially for numeric-only values, we recommend using leading zeros (e.g., 001, 002, 010) to avoid unexpected sorting.
