talenttrends Session Overview

Every session. Every seat. Every waiting list.

talenttrends Session Overview gives learning managers, L&D coordinators and HR business partners a view of every upcoming ILT session — registrations, waiting list depth, capacity utilisation and status in a sortable grid, with one-click return to the Cornerstone admin page. Live from the talenttrends Data Hub. No more clicking through individual session pages.

The problem

Capac­i­ty plan­ning today means: open­ing every ses­sion individually

Cor­ner­stone knows every ILT ses­sion, every reg­is­tra­tion, every wait­ing list. But the infor­ma­tion is scat­tered across indi­vid­ual ses­sion admin pages. Any­one who needs an overview of next quar­ter’s train­ing capac­i­ty clicks through ses­sion by ses­sion — or builds a report that is out of date the day after export.

Open every session page individually

To check a ses­sion’s reg­is­tra­tion count, you open its admin page. For an overview of twen­ty ses­sions: twen­ty pages.

Working out utilisation in your head

Deriv­ing util­i­sa­tion from min­i­mum, max­i­mum and reg­is­tra­tion num­bers — per ses­sion, every sin­gle time. Error-prone and laborious.

Waiting list depth buried

Where demand exceeds sup­ply only becomes appar­ent once you nav­i­gate deep into a ses­sion sub-page or a report. Too late to plan an addi­tion­al ses­sion in time.

End-of-quarter review means building reports

For the steer­ing com­mit­tee, the capac­i­ty overview is assem­bled man­u­al­ly every quar­ter — hours no one has.

What you see with it

Report­ing 2.0 ends where appli­ca­tions begin

Instead of twen­ty admin pages, a sin­gle plan­ning inter­face: when the ses­sion runs, what it teach­es, where it takes place, min­i­mum and max­i­mum capac­i­ty, cur­rent reg­is­tra­tions, wait­ing list, sta­tus — and a visu­al capac­i­ty bar that shows util­i­sa­tion at a glance.

The grid

Every ILT ses­sion a row, all met­rics in view — date, event, loca­tion, min/​max, reg­is­tra­tions, wait­ing list, sta­tus. Sortable by any col­umn, scrol­lable across the whole quarter.

The capacity bar

Colour-cod­ed util­i­sa­tion per ses­sion: green for healthy occu­pan­cy, amber as capac­i­ty nears its lim­it, red for over­booked, grey for under­booked. Prob­lems jump out with­out hav­ing to read a figure.

Filter & search

By peri­od, by capac­i­ty lev­el (ful­ly booked /​ under­booked /​ wait­ing list present), by sta­tus or via free-text search across ses­sion name, course code and loca­tion. Fil­ters com­bine — the grid shows exact­ly the intersection.

Excel export & return jump

The cur­rent­ly fil­tered view as one click to XLSX, ready for the steer­ing com­mit­tee. And every ses­sion row is a deep link back into the Cor­ner­stone admin page — adjust­ing capac­i­ty, adding an extra date, reas­sign­ing a train­er is one click away.

How it works

Con­nect, embed, plan

01

Connect

Ses­sion Overview con­nects to your Cor­ner­stone por­tal via the offi­cial Cor­ner­stone data inter­faces — either via direct API access or via the tal­ent­trends inte­gra­tion from the Cor­ner­stone Edge Mar­ket­place. Ses­sion and capac­i­ty data land in the tal­ent­trends Data Hub, which Ses­sion Overview works on.

02

Embed

Embed­ded in your Cor­ner­stone por­tal as a cus­tom page. Sin­gle sign-on via Cor­ner­stone itself — no sec­ond login. You deter­mine who may see the grid via the vis­i­bil­i­ty rules of the cus­tom page — typ­i­cal­ly the L&D team, HR busi­ness part­ners and train­ing coordination.

03

Plan

The grid opens with the next few months of upcom­ing ses­sions. Fil­ter, sort, search — and where a prob­lem becomes vis­i­ble, jump direct­ly into the Cor­ner­stone admin page with a click and resolve it. For report­ing: export the fil­tered view as Excel.

The technology

Fast, read-only, no detours

Ses­sion Overview runs in pro­duc­tive Cor­ner­stone projects where we take respon­si­bil­i­ty our­selves. This is what’s behind it.

Live from the Data Hub

Ses­sion Overview works against your repli­cat­ed data foun­da­tion, not against Cor­ner­stone live APIs. No API throt­tling, no rate lim­its, full per­for­mance even dur­ing Cor­ner­stone main­te­nance windows.

Read-only and parameterised

Fixed, ver­sioned queries that ship with the appli­ca­tion — not gen­er­at­ed at run­time, not syn­the­sised by an AI, not change­able via the inter­face. Strict­ly read-only. Ses­sion Overview can­not change data under any circumstances.

Filter with no wait

One query loads the vis­i­ble time win­dow; sort­ing, search­ing and fil­ter­ing then respond instant­ly, with­out anoth­er data­base query. The inter­face stays smooth even with many sessions.

Excel export on demand

The fil­tered view is assem­bled serv­er-side into an XLSX file, with col­umn head­ings in the user’s lan­guage, and streamed direct­ly to the brows­er — no per­sis­tent stor­age of the export files at talessio.

Deep link without proxy

The return to the Cor­ner­stone admin page leads direct­ly to Cor­ner­stone — not rout­ed via talessio infra­struc­ture. The action itself (capac­i­ty, dates, train­er) hap­pens in Cor­ner­stone, where it belongs.

No third party, no data leak

The grid ren­ders via a sin­gle authen­ti­cat­ed chan­nel — no third-par­ty CDN fetch­es, no teleme­try leaks, no trans­mis­sion of data to third-par­ty services.

Prerequisites

What you should coor­di­nate with us

Ses­sion Overview is a plan­ning tool for the oper­a­tional L&D func­tion. Three points that we clar­i­fy togeth­er with you dur­ing onboarding.

Cornerstone setup

Ses­sion Overview needs data access to your Cor­ner­stone por­tal — either via acti­vat­ed Cor­ner­stone data inter­faces and a ded­i­cat­ed ser­vice account, or via the tal­ent­trends inte­gra­tion from the Cor­ner­stone Edge Mar­ket­place. The lat­ter is the faster route, because authen­ti­ca­tion and scope are pre-configured.

Narrow down the audience

Ses­sion Overview shows capac­i­ty data at ses­sion lev­el — aggre­gat­ed fig­ures per ses­sion, no detail on indi­vid­ual employ­ees. That makes it a tool for L&D plan­ning and HR. Via the Micro App’s vis­i­bil­i­ty rules, you nar­row access down to pre­cise­ly this audience.

Account for co-determination

In Ger­many, intro­duc­ing a tech­ni­cal sys­tem with employ­ee-relat­ed data can trig­ger co-deter­mi­na­tion rights for the works coun­cil. Because Ses­sion Overview only shows aggre­gat­ed capac­i­ty data and does not assess indi­vid­u­als, the scope is small­er than for per­son-relat­ed appli­ca­tions — but you still clar­i­fy the con­sul­ta­tion with­in your usu­al process­es. We pro­vide the documentation.
