When you start a Breathe trial, our Sample Data feature instantly brings your Breathe account to life by automatically adding people data.
What is Sample Data mode?
We've designed Sample Data mode to help you see the full power of Breathe right away.
By instantly populating your account with sample information, you can explore the platform's true capabilities without having to manually enter a single detail of your own.
This sample data is detailed, helping you see the system in action. It encompasses a diverse range of personal details, job roles, logged training, holidays, sickness and assigns working patterns and holiday allowances to each person.
How do I know sample data mode is turned on?
A banner will appear on your welcome page letting you know that sample data mode is enabled...
A banner will also appear at the top of all pages notifying you that you are in sample data mode...
When Sample Data mode is enabled you can add your own people to your Breathe your account and send them a welcome email so they can login and explore Breathe. When sample data is removed, their people data that you have added will remain.
💡 Top Tip: We highly recommend viewing the Reports area of Breathe while Sample Data is on. Seeing those reports populated with information is the best way to understand how valuable they'll be for your business.

When you are ready to remove sample data from your trial, follow these 3 steps...
Step 1: Look for the notification banner at the very top of your Breathe screen.

The system will instantly and permanently remove all 10 sample people and their associated data. Once the banner disappears, your account will be empty and ready for you to add your own team's details.
