How to Add Submission or Program Chairs?

A Submission Chair will have access controls to submissions within the corresponding track field on the submission form. 

A Program Chair will have access controls to manage the scheduling and content within the corresponding program track in the program module.

      NOTE: A submission track and program track are 2 separate entities in the x-cd system.

If a Chair cannot access the Chair site, this means they may not have any tracks assigned to them. If they are assigned tracks and are still unable to see submissions in the chair site, submit a support ticket with the email address of the chair and the track information.
