# Canvass

The Canvass tab is FieldEdge's door-to-door canvassing interface. Work through a list of contacts, log outcomes, take surveys, and add tags — all from your phone or tablet, online or offline.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Canvass menu can be turned on or off per user type in [App Customization](/product-tour-or-hq/app-customization.md).
{% endhint %}

When you tap **Canvass** from the bottom navigation bar, you see a list of your active walks. If you haven't created any walks yet, the screen shows an empty state with a button to create your first walk.

{% endcontent-ref %}

## During a walk

Once you've started a walk, you can flip between two ways to view your list:

{% content-ref url="/pages/7bigUMVoTZ3ykS2pT8m5" %}
[Map View](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/map-view.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/ZocJWMwdS0xT84v5ZA80" %}
[List View](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/list-view.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Tap a household to open the household view, then a person to open their canvass profile.

{% content-ref url="/pages/WDISPqn2CRH5oz4hqstD" %}
[Household View](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/household-view.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/iEqP2pZ6upn4f1L8fjA8" %}
[Canvass Profile](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/canvass-profile.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Coordinating multiple canvassers

Generally speaking, we recommend creating separate and unique lists for each canvasser. However, you may find some cases where you want canvassers to share a list (for example if they are walking odds & evens) or their lists may contain the same households.

To help you avoid unintentionally knocking the same door twice, it's recommended canvassers:

**a. Coordinate with each other**\
This way they can be aware of the houses and streets the other people plan to knock

**b. Use the "Sync Household Statuses" feature**\
Every few households, press sync to get any updates (completed houses) from other canvassers.

{% hint style="info" %}
You do not need to use this to sync your data, only to get other peoples data
