Starting a Walk

Create a new walk in the FieldEdge mobile app

The Canvass tab opens to a list of your active walks. Tap any walk to resume it, or create a new one.

If you haven't created any walks yet, you'll see a Create a Walk button in the middle of the screen instead of a list β€” tap it to get started.

Creating a new walk

Tap the + button in the corner to open a menu with three options:

  • Traditional Walk β€” select an existing list of contacts from NationBuilder

  • Proximity Walk β€” build a walk on the fly from contacts near your current location

  • Cold Walk β€” start with no list and add households as you knock doors

After selecting an option and a list (for Traditional), you'll see the Walk Preview before starting.

Deleting a walk

Swipe left on any walk in the list to delete it. Deleting a walk doesn't remove the underlying list β€” you can start a new walk on the same list at any time.

The three walk types (Traditional, Proximity, Cold) can be enabled or disabled per user type in App Customization.
