# Durations

**Durations** are a taxonomy used to indicate the expected time required to complete a training. It is used to categorize learning content for easy filtering.

To manage **Durations**, open the corresponding dashboard from the left-hand menu under **Data management**.

<Note>
  **NOTE:** Duration management is available only to **administrators** and **content editors**.
</Note>

## The dashboard

From this interface, you can create, edit, publish/disable, delete, group, and rearrange taxonomy terms:

The dashboard table shows the list of all duration terms with the following attributes:

* **Duration name**
* **Status** (Published/Disabled)
* **Action** (Edit/Publish/Disable buttons)

<Note>
  **NOTE:** The disabled term can’t be assigned to trainings, but it will still be displayed for a training to which it was previously assigned.
</Note>

## Adding a new duration term

Click the **Add duration** button above the table to open a pop-up window where you can set up a new duration term:

Enter only a numerical value in minutes into the **Duration** field.

You can create groups of terms under a parent term. To add a term to a group, choose a parent term under the **Relations** setting and set up the weight for the term you create, which affects the display order of the terms in the group.

**Opigno’s Custom API** enables restricting a term to a specific hierarchy level, so content managers only see the terms assigned to their hierarchy when creating trainings.

## Editing a duration term

Click the **Edit** action button in the duration terms list to open a dedicated interface where you can change the term and its parameters or delete it.

Deleting a term automatically deletes all its translations as child entities. The system will list all the affected term entities.

You can also delete the duration term selectively from a specific hierarchy **(Opigno Custom API is required)**.
