When should I use the lock?
Already know how many canvassers you have, or how much time is available?
Lock that value.
We’ll adjust the rest of the plan around it.
Rural or urban area?
Choose Rural or Urban based on your canvassing area. We estimate 10 min between doors in rural areas and 2 min in urban areas.
Adjust this anytime with the Time between doors setting.
Doors knocked, conversations (talked to), or supporters (convinced)?
Choose what you want to optimize for:
- Knock on: number of doors you want to reach
- Talk to: number of conversations to have
- Convince: number of supporters to win.
Your plan updates instantly as you make changes.
