Introduction to Building Program Codes

Program codes are normally session codes plus sequence numbers.

Program codes must be unique to each contribution in the conference program, and they should contain the keys to understanding when and where a presentation will take place, as well as indicate the type of presentation.

Program codes are used to identify contributions during file upload by authors and file download by editors during the processing of contributions to the proceedings.

Program codes are built either manually or automatically.

Create Program Codes Manually

Set the system parameter

Overall Database Administration | System Parameters | Conference | Auto Gen Program Code

to No, and enter Programme Codes via the "Edit" link in the abstract screen.

Create Programme Codes Automatically

Set the system parameter:

Overall Database Administration | System Parameters | Conference | Auto Gen Program Code

to Yes, and ensure that the session codes have been entered via the screens

Scientific Program Administration | Presentation Types (Sessions)
Scientific Program Administration | Sessions

Program Codes usually contain:

  • A Day Code: MO, TU, WE, TH, FR
  • A Presentation type code: the user decides how he or she wishes to identify the presentation type. These will have been entered in the screen:
    • Scientific Program Administration | Presentation Type (Sessions)
  • A location code entered in the screen:
    • Scientific Program Administration | Location Codes
  • A sequence number
