Messages View - Broadcast Status
Different views can be applied to the list of Bidding Participants. One of the Views on the Bidding Messages List is Messages, which shows all the batches of messages sent and the Contacts in that batch that the messages were sent to.
There is a column on the Messages row: Broadcast Status which displays a bar that breaks down the total number of Contacts that were sent this message by the status of the email message. There are three statuses:
Dark Green: Email sent successfully
Red: Email was sent but failed to deliver
Grey: Email has not yet been sent (UNSENT)
The statuses will have a colored bar to represent the status and will display with the number of companies with that status.
See the Bidding Messaging List – Messages - Broadcast Status for more information.
