Managing Cohorts in Acorn

What is a cohort?

A cohort is a group of users in Acorn. Cohorts are used to control access to courses, automate enrolments, restrict Momentum workflows, and filter reports.

Creating a cohort

1. Go to Admin > User Management > Manage Cohorts > Create Cohort.
2. Enter a name and optional description.
3. Create Cohort.
   
   
   

Mannually adding users to a static cohort

1. Open the cohort.
2. Click Add Users.
3. Search and select users.
4. Confirm.
   
   

Dynamic cohort rules

1. Open the cohort and click Assign User Fields.
2. Add conditions based on user attributes (e.g. department = 'Finance', role = 'Manager', hire date < 90 days ago). It is important to pay attention to the All and Any field under "Users must match".
3. Update Field Conditions — Acorn will automatically add/remove users as they meet or no longer meet the rules.
