SMS Status
This page describes the SMS Status report in the Business Alerts module.
---
The SMS Status report shows the current status of the text (SMS) messages you sent during a specified period.
For each message, the report shows the Contact Number and Name of the recipient, the date and time the message was sent, the date and time of the latest status of the message, and the status itself.
When printed to screen, the SMS Status report has the Standard ERP Drill-down feature. Click (Windows/macOS) or tap (iOS/Android) on the Contact Number of a recipient to open the relevant record in the Contact register, and on the creation date of a message to open the message.
