6. If applicable, sub-filter the list of submissions by selecting a Track
• You may also use the Assign to All, then select a number of tracks to be assigned the one individual
  
  • NOTE: This will not individually manage the reviewer to submission assignments, but will give the individual access to view and review all submissions (current and any added submissions after this point in time) in the track(s) you have granted them access to. CAUTION: Typically, assigned reviewers should only complete review forms AFTER the submission site has been closed to new submissions and edits.
