Value of Assigned Users in Campaigns with Random Sends

  • Updated

The value of assigned users in campaigns with random sending is updated progressively as the sends are executed. Currently, this progress can be viewed directly in the campaign audit.

How is the Assigned Value Calculated?

In simulation campaigns (phishing or ransomware) with random sending, user assignment is not done at a single moment.

Instead:

  • Users are assigned progressively

  • Assignment occurs as the different sending batches are executed

This is because:

  • Sends are distributed at different times of the day

  • They take place within a defined time range

  • They can even extend over more than one day

Specifically, sending occurs in the first half of the configured date range (between the start date and the expiration date), within the hours of 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

How is it Currently Displayed?

The assignment progress can be checked from the campaign audit.

To view it:

  1. Go to Campaigns > Calendar / Campaign List

  2. Find the campaign and access the audit under "View campaign details"

  3. Go to the tab "Information and actions"

There the progress is shown in the format:

  • Assigned X of Y (Z%) 

  • For example, if the campaign was sent to 10 users and half of the users have already been sent in the sum of the batches, it will display: Assigned 5 of 10 (50%)

This allows you to know in real time:

  • How many users have already been assigned

  • How many remain pending

  • The percentage progress of the campaign

Difference with Campaigns Without Random Sending

In campaigns without random sending:

  • Assignment is done at a single moment (campaign start)

  • The assigned value is final from that moment

On the other hand, in campaigns with random sending:

  • The assigned value evolves over time

  • It depends on the execution of each sending batch

Considerations

  • The assigned value can vary during the execution of the campaign

  • Progress will depend on the scheduling of the sends

  • This behavior is expected and is part of the random sending logic

💡 Best Practices

  • Check progress from the "Information and actions" tab to monitor the campaign

  • Consider the time range and dates when analyzing assignment progress

  • Avoid directly comparing random campaigns with immediate send campaigns
