Convicted of a crime

Hello, I have a quick question regarding secondaries that ask if individuals have been convicted of a crime.
As with many users, I have a traffic violation that is an infraction. However, I decided to fight the ticket and go to court. I subsequently lost, and thus received a conviction, per public records. I have unfortunately already submitted most of my secondaries. For the question:
Have you ever been convicted of a crime?
Should I have clicked yes given the information above? If so, would this heavily influence my application, even after emailing schools?

No, criminal means misdemeanor or felony. You have been convicted of an infraction which is not, repeat, not a crime

Thank you for clarifying!
