cPortal is the collection point for all presentation management materials in the CTI workflow platform. From the Presentations tab, speakers upload live and remote materials for any hybrid meeting. In some workflows, especially those involving a presentation review for CME or CE purposes and for cases where the presentation will be manually edited to add Audience Response System (ARS) slides into the presentation, customers may require that presentations are “locked” once they are uploaded. Locking a presentation ensures that any editing of the presentation for the ARS and any peer review completed by volunteers are not overwritten by a speaker uploading a new version of the presentation. The cPortal user will still be able to see the file in the Portal, but to make any changes to the file, would need to contact the meeting administrators, who would need to unlock the presentation or upload it in the cAdmin system.
Presentations are locked and unlocked by Presentation ID. This can be accomplished in bulk on the Presentation Dashboard, and individually on the Presentation Details page shown below.
To “lock” the presentation files in Portal, an administrator can click the switch “Lock media items in Portal” in Presentation details.
