How can I bulk approve proposals?

An Event Administrator can approve multiple proposals at once. There are two options for bulk approval:

• Approve as Group: All proposals are grouped into sub-sessions under a single parent session.
• Approve Individually: Each proposal is created as a separate session.

To access this setting, follow these steps below:

1. From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Proposals > Submissions
2. Select the checkboxes of the submissions you wish to approve
3. Above the Submissions table, select Actions > Bulk Approve > Approve as Group or Approve Individually

Approve as Group

Selecting Approve as Group will open a new editor form. Fill this form out to create the corresponding session in the Session page of the Event Dashboard.

Basic Details

1. Title - Enter the title of your session under this field.
2. Description - Enter the description of your session under this field.

Sub-sessions

This section will list all the proposals to be created as sub-sessions. There are no settings under this section but it is recommended to review the proposals listed here to ensure all the desired proposals are listed.

Lastly, toggle on the Send Update Alert Email checkbox to send an email notification to the submitter.

Once all options have been configured, select Approve Proposal to create the session in the sessions page of the Event Dashboard.

Approve Individually

The Approve Individually option offers a more straightforward approach compared to approving proposals as a group. Selecting this option will create a session for each chosen proposal. Within the editor form, event administrators can toggle on the Send Update Alert Email checkbox to send an email notification to the submitter. Select Save Changes to finalize the proposal and begin populating your sessions.
