If the Send e-mail element is used in the survey, e-mails can be sent automatically from the survey. In order to allow the user to view the number of e-mails sent and the protocol for these e-mails, a special sampling project type can be selected, i.e. the Survey Distributor.
The icon indicates that it originates from the survey. The number of automatically sent e-mails is displayed in the bar. Using the Download protocol button, an Excel file is downloaded on which you will be presented with the following data:
| Column heading | Data description |
