Managing Recurring Phish - Phish Activity
All simulations, including Recurring Phish, are managed from the Phish Activity table under Phishing → Phish Activity.
Table Columns
- Name - the name assigned during setup
- Status - current status of the simulation (see below)
- Version - version number of the simulation
- Created - date the simulation was created
- Published - date the simulation was published
- Type - simulation type (Phish, Recurring Phish or Campaign)
- Created By - the user who created the simulation
- Previewed - indicates whether a preview email was sent
- Language - the language(s) configured for the simulation
- Archived - indicates whether the simulation has been archived
Simulation Statuses
| Status | Definition | Available Actions |
| Draft | Simulations that have been created but not yet scheduled or published | View, Archive, Delete |
| Planned | Simulations that have been created and scheduled but have not yet started | View, View Audit, Archive, Delete |
| Running | Simulations that have been created, scheduled and the first run has started | View, View Audit, Archive, Delete |
| Completed | Simulations that have been created, scheduled and all runs have been completed | View, View Audit, Archive, Delete |
| Archive | Simulations that were manually archived | View, View Audit, Delete |
Action Menu
Each simulation has an action menu accessible from the Phish Activity table. The following actions are available:
- View - Opens the simulation setup, allowing you to review the full configuration.
- View Audit - Opens the Phish Audit report for the simulation, displaying per-user engagement data including clicks, QR scans, data entry, attachment opens and reports. Accessible via two routes: Phishing → Reports, or directly from the action menu in Phish Activity.
- Archive - Moves the simulation to the Archive status. Archived simulations remain visible in the Phish Activity table but are no longer active. Available on all statuses except Archive.
- Delete - Permanently removes the simulation. This action cannot be undone.
Editing a Recurring Phish
Once a Recurring Phish has been published, some configuration can be edited from the 'View' option.
When the simulation is in a Planned or Running state, you can edit:
- Templates and Learning Experiences - changes apply to future runs.
- Targets - changes apply to future runs.
- Enable Risk Score and Exclude from Reporting Settings - these settings apply to all runs in the simulation. These settings can only be changed when Anonymous Responses are disabled.
When the simulation is in a Completed state, you can edit:
- Enable Risk Score and Exclude from Reporting Settings - these settings apply to all runs in the simulation. These settings can only be changed when Anonymous Responses are disabled.
The Phish in Progress page will be retired soon and replaced by the Phish Activity page.
