How to do automatic assignments

Venues that selected a value for 'Paper Matching' in the venue request form will have the option to use automatic assignment by doing the following:

1. Make sure your submission deadline has passed. Unless your venue is single blind and public, assignments cannot be made until after the submission deadline.

2. Run the Post Submission stage to reveal submissions to reviewers.

3. Run the Review Stage.

4. Calculate affinity scores and conflicts using Paper Matching Setup.

5. Run a matching.

6. Modify and finalize the proposed assignments.

7. Deploy the proposed assignments.
