• Replies: This ONLY will work if using the Inbound Reply Options or Data Capture.

• Status: Identifies where the message is, whether it be sent, aborted, scheduled, or failed. 
• Size: Is the number of recipients currently slated to receive the message. Please note that if a message is scheduled, the system will look at the parameters of the message again BEFORE sending out the message to make sure everyone is included that fits the group selected.
• Send Time: This shows when a message has been sent or will be sent. 
• Delete: Only messages that are scheduled can be deleted before the message is sent. 

Note: A Failed Status means that message was unable to go out, in most circumstances this is due to the recipients selected, if there are no contacts in a particular list for a message then a message will show as failed.
