This page describes using a spreadsheet to assign any set of events to a parent event. This is commonly done to assign posters to a poster session, or orals and spotlights to an orals session.
First make sure all the events are created in the database. For poster, oral and spotlight events this is usually done using either CMT or OpenReview Import. For the parent events, usually Poster Sessions or Oral Session, these are often created manually.
Export the child events using Resource "Parent Event Assignment". If "Parent Event Assignment" is not in the resource list see below. This will create a spreadsheet with the parent_event_name column which may be blank if no events have been assigned to any sessions yet.
Fill in the parent_event_name using the name of an event already created in the database. For example "Poster Session 1", or "Poster Session 2", etc.
After filling in the parent_event_name column in the spreadsheet import the spreadsheet back into the database.
If there is no "Parent Event Assignment" listed in the Events resources you'll need to create one in the database. It should have the following values:
