What is a Cohort?

A Cohort is a scheduled instance of a Program. While a Program is the template (which events, which days), a Cohort is the real run — with a start date, specific session times, and assigned learners. One Program can have many Cohorts (e.g., “Leadership Program — Q1 2026”, “Leadership Program — Q2 2026”).

Creating a Cohort

1

Open a Program

Navigate to a Program and click Create Cohort in the toolbar.
2

Set details

Enter a cohort title and select a start date. The system calculates session dates from the program template.
3

Review sessions

A calendar view shows all sessions with their calculated times. You can:
  • Drag sessions to adjust times
  • Reuse existing sessions from the same week (if available)
  • Modify individual session durations
4

Add learners

Select which users to add to this cohort. You can skip this and add learners later.
5

Create

Confirm to create the cohort. Sessions are created and calendar events are generated.

Managing a Cohort

Once created, view a cohort at /create-and-collaborate/cohorts/:cohortId.

Views

ViewWhat it shows
ListSessions sorted by date with details
CalendarWeekly grid view of all sessions
Click any session to open the event detail page.

Editing

  • Title & description — edit from the cohort menu
  • Sessions — click individual sessions to view/manage them
  • Attendees — managed through the cohort

Session reuse

When creating a cohort, if there are already existing sessions in the same week (from other cohorts or standalone events), you can reuse them instead of creating new ones. This avoids duplicate sessions for the same event.

Attendees

Cohort attendees are the learners assigned to this program run. Each attendee has:
  • RSVP status per session
  • Attendance tracking
A session may also have non-cohort attendees (people who registered for the event independently). The cohort detail shows the count of external attendees.

Deleting a Cohort

Deleting a cohort removes the cohort and all its sessions. This is a destructive action with a confirmation dialog.
