How to configure decision types

This article explains how you can edit the decision types for your event (eg. Oral, Poster).

Each submission you receive can be classified as accepted or rejected for different decision types. Refer to this article to know how to change the decision status.

The status (Accepted or Rejected) of each decision type (Poster and Oral presentatio) are color coded in your submission table as shown in the image below.

Note: before December 20th 2021, decision types were defined using the Submission type field in the submission form. They are now defined separately as described in this article.
