How to Update Custom Max Papers for Reviewers or ACs

Reviewers have the option to submit a form requesting a custom number of papers to review. The range of this custom number is defined by the organizers of the venue. Reviewers can set this value during the recruitment period by submitting a form that creates a Note with the Invitation <your_venue_id>/Reviewers/-/Recruitment. When paper matching setup is run, this note is converted to an Edge with the Invitation <your_venue_id>/Reviewers/-/Custom_Max_Papers.

To create a reviewers' Custom Max Papers after having run Paper Matching Setup, you can do the following:

1. If you have not done so, you will need to install and instantiate the openreview-py client.

2. Create an Edge object with proper params as in the example below:

# For Reviewers
client.post_edge(openreview.api.Edge(
    invitation='<your_venue_id>/Reviewers/-/Custom_Max_Papers',
    head='<your_venue_id>/Reviewers',
    tail='~Profile_ID1',
    signatures=['<your_venue_id>/Program_Chairs'],
    weight=2
))

# For Area Chairs
client.post_edge(openreview.api.Edge(
    invitation='<your_venue_id>/Area_Chairs/-/Custom_Max_Papers',
    head='<your_venue_id>/Area_Chairs',
    tail='~Profile_ID1',
    signatures=['<your_venue_id>/Program_Chairs'],
    weight=2
))

Please make sure the tail value is the profile id of the user. To get the profile id you can use the following call:

profile = openreview.tools.get_profile('[e-mail]')
profile.id

To change a reviewers' Custom Max Papers after having run Paper Matching Setup, you can do the following:

1. If you have not done so, you will need to install and instantiate the openreview-py client.

2. Retrieve the custom max papers edge for the reviewer or area chair. This edge will have the invitation <your_venue_id>/Reviewers/-/Custom_Max_Papers or <your_venue_id>/Area_Chairs/-/Custom_Max_Papers and the user's profile ID as its tail, so you can retrieve it like so:

# For Reviewers
edges = client.get_edges(
    invitation="<your_venue_id>/Reviewers/-/Custom_Max_Papers",
    tail="~User_One1"
)
custom_max_papers_edge = edges[0]

# For ACs
edges = client.get_edges(
    invitation="<your_venue_id>/Area_Chairs/-/Custom_Max_Papers",
    tail="~User_One1"
)
custom_max_papers_edge = edges[0]

The edge has a "weight" field. This represents the custom amount of papers they have agreed to review. To change it, you can set it to the new desired number of papers and repost the Edge.

custom_max_papers_edge.weight = 2
client.post_edge(custom_max_papers_edge)

Once the edge is posted, it will appear in the reviewer's or area chair's console as the following image:
