Hi, We are using Seminars a lot in Totara Learn.
A seminar can consist of several sessions.
For instance we can have a course (Seminar) that has 3 sessions (of 4 hours each) spread over 3 days over the upcoming 3 weeks (every Tuesday from 09:00-12:00 am one seminar).
In total this course has a duration of 3x4=12 hours.
We would like to show this in the manager dashboard.
In that case the manager can see what his/her team members have scheduled for the upcoming weeks and how many training hours are involved.
Or if someone subscribes for the training, the manager can see in Totara Learn that this has impact on the planning for 12 hours in total.
Can we calculate (sum) these durations of sessions for seminars out of the box?

Hi Luc
I don't think you can sum seminar duration out of the box as seminar reports. do not contain the duration as one of the fields.
Adding a custom field of numeric type so that it can be summed is also not possible there is a feature request for this TL-11232
This means to get this to work an export of the custom field string or start and end date would need to imported into a spreadsheet and formulas to sum and convert strings to numbers would need to be created.
