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 .

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
