CED Upload – How to Backfill Control Extra Data Fields

Backfilling control extra data (CED) fields in your modules is important to know when you run into unique situations where there is a request for a combination of the first initial of the first name and the last name into a single field, which will serve as a control extra data field in the mobile app.

Below is a guide to help you navigate this process:

1. Prepare Excel File to backfill:
• Create an Excel file and save it as a .csv file type
• First column: ControlNumber
• Second column: Name of your CED field (exclude the period and anything before it, such as “Abstract.” or “ControlExtraData.”)

• If you are uploading a list item in Column B, use the list item GUID code (found in View Source when right-clicking the list item), NOT the text value.

2. File Naming:
• Save file as “10828.poster.csv” format.
• “10828” = Meeting ID
• After the period, add a unique name for what you are backfilling (e.g., poster)

3. Navigate to cAdmin -> Configuration -> CED upload
• Use the Browse button to locate the file and click UPLOAD

4. Monitor Upload:
• Stay on the page! Status will show ‘Pending,’ then ‘Done’ upon completion for two seconds. Watch for ‘Error’ if unsuccessful (try again).

5. QC Your Import:
• Use the Report builder for a quality check.

Presenter Registration Validation Report

One common inquiry we receive involves comparing registration data with presenter information to ensure that all presenters have registered or are promptly removed from the program if not registered on time. We can resolve this by consolidating registration data and presenter data into a single report within the Report builder.

Running CME Review Status Reports

Meeting organizers only need to use one of these reporting methods, but there are two options for your convenience. Both methods provide different approaches for extracting CME Review Status data from the same shared dataset.

Both the Presentations dashboard and the Report Builder provide options for running CME Review Status Reports, utilizing the same data source.

Presentations dashboard

1. Utilize the advanced search functionality to locate CME presentations based on Session type, Session title, Category, Room, Date, Presentation Id, Control #, extra session field, etc.
2. Once filters are applied, click the “Select all” button to choose all presentations on the list. Click the export icon labeled “Export” and select “DASHBOARD DATA.”

3. Download the data from the search to a CSV file on your computer. Open the document and remove unnecessary columns (such as ControlKey, SessionKey, etc.) to focus on checking the CME Review Statuses.

Report Builder

On the other hand, in the Report Builder, administrators can:
1. Navigate to cAdmin -> Reports -> Report builder
2. Click “Create New Report” under the Presentations card. Click “Select & Order Fields” and click and drag over the fields:
Presentation.ReviewStatusCME
• Presentation.ReviewCommentsCME
