About Events
In Macromedia Breeze, the event application lets users manage the full life cycle of large or small
events, including registration, invitations, reminders, and reporting. Breeze events can be used
with meetings, seminars, presentations, or training.
An event generally involves many participants, so it requires careful pre-event planning and post-
event management. For example, event hosts may want the ability to accept or reject participants
after they register and the appearance of the event may be critical, so special company branding
may need to be applied.
When to create events
You can create any of the following events: a Breeze meeting, seminar, presentation, course, or
curriculum. An important distinction is that Breeze events support pre-event and post-event
management, and Breeze meetings, seminars, presentations, courses, and curriculums
are
the
events.
You can consider creating an event in the following situations:
•
You want participants to register. You also want the option to screen participants for the event
based on their registration information.
•
You want to create branded event pages, such as event listing and description pages, which help
build event awareness as well as branded registration and log-in pages.
•
You want to customize the data that you collect about the participants for your reports.
Because this data is based on registration information, it supplements the reports that relate to
event content, such as the responses for quiz questions given in a course or polling questions
for a specific meeting.
•
You want people outside your organization to participate. Events are often listed on your
organization’s public website, so many participants will find your event there and register at
the site.
•
You want the ability to send out automatic e-mail messages such as invitations, reminders,
registration confirmations, and thank you notes.
