Paper topics

Configuration -> Paper submission -> Configuration -> Paper topics

Define paper topics

Here you can add topics for which submissions can be made. You can distinguish between main topics and subtopics.

A topic can be added via the Add Entry button (1). First, select the parent element/topic (2) and then give the topic a suitable name (3). Main topics have Root as their parent element, while for subtopics, you select the corresponding main topic as the parent element.

If you don´t use any subtopics, the setting for Topic option must be set to "All topic areas selectable" in the basic settings - otherwise, the topics will appear in the submission, but cannot be selected as they are parent topics.
