Breeze Manager is a web application that acts as an access and control point for all Macromedia

Breeze applications. Breeze Manager allows you to set up and manage meetings, seminars, and

training courses and curriculums, as well as manage content that can be shared through meetings,

presentations, training courses, and events.

In addition, the user management component of Breeze Manager enables you to set access

permissions for both the users of this content and the content itself.

Note: Not everyone can use all the Breeze Manager features. The features you can access depend

on your Breeze configuration and your permissions.

Breeze Manager users

You use different features of Breeze Manager depending on your user needs. Breeze users are

divided into the following groups:

•“Meeting Hosts” on page 7

•“Authors” on page 8

•“Training Managers” on page 8

•“Seminar Hosts” on page 8

•“Event Managers” on page 8

•“Administrators” on page 8

Meeting Hosts

This group includes administrative assistants, managers, and everyone in an organization who can

create Breeze Meetings. You do not need Breeze Manager to attend such a meeting; all you need is

the meeting URL. However, in many cases, you can enter a Breeze Meeting from Breeze Manager

as well. For background information about meetings, see Chapter 8, “About Meetings,” on

page 119. For instructions on joining, creating, or modifying meetings, see Chapter 9, “Working

with Meetings,” on page 127.

8 Introduction: Using Breeze Manager

Authors

An author is anyone who uploads content to the Breeze server. Content can include files created

in Breeze Presenter, Macromedia Captivate, or any other content uploaded to the Breeze Content

library. For information on the types of files you can upload to Breeze, see “Types of files in the

Content library” on page 29.

For information on working with Macromedia Breeze Presenter, see Breeze Presenter User Guide.

Once the file conversion is complete, see Chapter 3, “Working with Content,” on page 35. This

chapter explains how to work with content files. In addition, the chapter includes instructions for

viewing presentations, since a completed presentation can be viewed from the Content library—

not only at the meeting, but any time thereafter—by those who have the proper permissions.

Training Managers

Breeze refers to trainers as “training managers.” This group includes anyone developing courses

and curriculums. If you are a trainer or course manager, see, Chapter 5, “Working with Courses,”

on page 63, Chapter 6, “Working with Training Curriculums,” on page 81, and Chapter 7,

“Managing the Training Library,” on page 109.

Seminar Hosts

This group includes individuals who present seminars. A seminar is a special kind of meeting with

its own attributes and licensing structure. For information on seminars, see Chapter 11, “About

Seminars,” on page 159. For instructions on creating and changing seminars, see Chapter 12,

“Working with Seminars,” on page 165; for information on managing seminar files, see

Chapter 13, “Managing the Seminar Library,” on page 181.

Event Managers

This group includes anyone who organizes events. An event can be any meeting, presentation,

course, curriculum, or seminar that requires registration and generates reports with participant

tracking information. For a description of events, see Chapter 14, “About Events,” on page 195.

For procedures on creating and managing events, see Chapter 15, “Working with Events,” on

page 201 and Chapter 16, “Managing the Event Library,” on page 221. If your event also includes

a presentation, see Chapter 3, “Working with Content,” on page 35.

Administrators

This group consists of the users who manage the Breeze application for the entire organization. As

such, administrators are responsible for customizing Breeze’s appearance for their organization

and managing all aspects of Breeze accounts. This includes performing any task that account and

user management entails, such as creating custom user groups and assigning users to these, as well

as to the Breeze built-in groups. If you are an administrator, see Chapter 17, “About

Administration,” on page 235, Chapter 18, “Managing the Breeze Account,” on page 237, and

Chapter 19, “Working with Users and Groups,” on page 255.

What’s new in Breeze Manager

Breeze Manager 5.0 not only provides new and improved functionality for all the current users; it

also has new features and new functionality for new kinds of users. For information on these, see

the following:

•“New Breeze Manager tabs” on page 10

•“General application additions and enhancements” on page 10

•“New features for Breeze administrators” on page 11

•“New features for Breeze authors” on page 11

•“New features for Breeze trainers” on page 12

10 Introduction: Using Breeze Manager

New Breeze Manager tabs

There are four new tabs, each representing a new functionality, that have been added to the Breeze

Manager interface:

•Training tab. This tab replaces and incorporates all the features from the previous Courses tab,

but also adds the ability to create and manage curriculums as well. See Chapter 6, “Working

with Training Curriculums,” on page 81.

•Seminar Rooms tab. A seminar room is a type of meeting room that is used to hold large live

events. See Chapter 11, “About Seminars,” on page 159, Chapter 12, “Working with

Seminars,” on page 165, and Chapter 13, “Managing the Seminar Library,” on page 181.

•Event Management tab. An event can be any meeting, training, seminar, or presentation that

requires registration and special reporting data. Since it is normally used to manage a large

number of users at a time, the events functionality enables you to do bulk imports of large user

lists via CSV (comma separated values) files. In addition, event reports include special features

for participant data. See Chapter 14, “About Events,” on page 195, Chapter 15, “Working

with Events,” on page 201, and Chapter 16, “Managing the Event Library,” on page 221.

•Administration tab. This tab combines the account administrator, reporting, and user

management (the former Accounts, Reports, and Users tabs) functions used by Breeze

administrators, with several new features and enhancements added. See “New features for

Breeze administrators” on page 11, as well as Chapter 17, “About Administration,” on

page 235, Chapter 18, “Managing the Breeze Account,” on page 237, and Chapter 19,

“Working with Users and Groups,” on page 255.

In addition, the Reports tab has been removed because the reporting functionality has been

moved into the individual tabs. Report functionality has been considerably enhanced; see

“Reporting features” on page 10.

General application additions and enhancements

Breeze 5.0 has a new user interface, which makes Breeze Manager easier to use, and includes some

additional features. For information about this, see Chapter 1, “Understanding the Workspace,”

on page 15.

Reporting features

All the Breeze Manager functionalities have increased reporting capabilities, including the ability

to set report filters and download or print reports.

A completely new reporting feature is the Dashboard. This feature provides a dashboard for each

tab, with a graphical representation of statistical information relevant to the tab’s function. Each

Dashboard allows you to drill down to view more information on a specific item.

List navigation

Any list of user and group names that you use now has a Search button that enables you to locate

a name in the list. You can also expand a group in a list to see the members, as well as select

multiple names.
