CONFTOOL - How To

Create User Account

If not registered before, you need a new user account to submit any contributions to ICDS7.

To do so, visit https://www.conftool.com/icds7/

On the registration page, you can create a new user account for the ConfTool conference management system. All fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be filled in. You may leave a message in the User Comments box. After you complete the required fields of the form, a confirmation email with your account details will be sent to your email address.

Important: Please provide a valid full name, postal address, and email address; these details will be used for sending you all the relevant information about your submission and the conference. We will not disclose any of your personal information to third parties.

You will then be asked to complete a form

You can decided to just make an account and submit your contribution later, or to immediately also submit your contribution

Once your user account is created, you can log in with your username and password under “Registered Users”.

If you have forgotten your password, a new one can be obtained through the link “Forgotten your password?” For all further operations, you will require a user account and will have to log in first.

Depending on the phase of the submission, review, and registration process, you will see different options after logging in. If you have already submitted your papers, you will be able to access a list of your submissions, as well as their current status.

Submit

After you logged in, you will be directed to the main dashboard.

Your Submissions

Here you can submit new contributions and manage your submitted contributions. The number of contributions is limited to 3 per author. Please select the type of your contribution (...), then proceed.

Note: You do not need to create a new user account for each paper submission. The same user account can be used for multiple submissions and for participant registration.

We ask for your affiliation.

Please follow tConftool advise on ths:

Some conference chairs will ask you to enter the organization of each author of a contribution.

To start a new submission of a contribution, please go to:

Overview => Your Submissions => {choose submission type / track}

First enter the names (and e-mail addresses) of all authors, one author per line.

Then enter all the organizations of the authors in the input fields for "* Organization(s)" (see screenshot below).
Do not repeat organizations, i.e., enter each organization only once.
The organization fields have index numbers to the left of them.
Assign these index numbers to the corresponding authors (see image).

Please also note the "Preview List of Authors" at the bottom of the image (red arrow) that shows how
authors and organizations will be shown in the abstract preview and the agenda.

If an author is affiliated to more than one organization, enter the organizations in separate fields and enter all all corresponding index numbers behind the author, separated by commas.
Please see the screenshot for an example.

If all authors belong to the same organization, enter this organization only once and use the index "1" for all authors or leave the index empty
(Please note: the number will be deleted when you save the submission, as it's not required for the abstract output).

Please note that you can add extra fields for organizations by clicking on "Add Rows for More Organizations".
