Event Life Cycle; Pre-Event Tasks - MACROMEDIA BREEZE 5-MANAGER Manual

Event life cycle

You can divide the life cycle of a Breeze event into three phases:
•
Pre-event, which includes determining the number of licenses available, creating content,
establishing permissions, and inviting, registering, and reminding event participants.
•
In-event, which is the actual presentation of the event using one or more presenters.
•
Post-event, which involves redirecting the participant's browser to a specific URL, answering
outstanding questions from participants, and monitoring various event-tracking activities
through surveys and reports.
Tip: For a list of pre-event and post-event tasks you can perform with Breeze Manager, see
"Post-Event Tasks" on page
these tasks, see
For detailed information on in-event activities, see Breeze Meeting User Guide for Hosts and
Presenters.

Pre-event tasks

Careful pre-event planning and task maintenance can ensure that events run smoothly and that
post-event activities can be completed quickly. The following are important pre-event tasks:
•
Consider licensing considerations
•
Determine event content
•
Set event permissions
•
Select approval setting
Licensing considerations
Before you set up an event, you should know how many licenses you have. If more people register
for the event than you have licenses for, potential participants cannot join the event when they try
to log in. Check with your Breeze administrator for licensing issues.
Content for events
Before you create an event, the content for the event must already exist in Breeze. (When you are
setting up the event with the Event wizard, you must specify the content, meeting, course,
curriculum, or seminar on which to build your event.) The following list shows several examples:
•
To create a training event using a course or curriculum, the course or curriculum must already
exist in the Macromedia Breeze Training library.
•
To present content as an event, the content should be stored in the Breeze Content library.
•
To use a meeting or a seminar as an event, the meeting or seminar must already exist in the
Meetings or Seminar library.
