# Statuses

As you canvass, every household tracks its own status — what's been done and what happened. Statuses appear in both [Map View](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/map-view.md) and [List View](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/list-view.md) so you can see at a glance where you are in your walk.

## The statuses

| Status            | What it means                                                                       |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Not Yet Canvassed | You haven't visited the household yet                                               |
| Completed         | All residents got an outcome — no special status applies                            |
| Left Message      | At least one person was marked Left Message                                         |
| No Answer         | All residents were marked No Answer or skipped                                      |
| Blocked           | All residents were marked Bad Info, Inaccessible, Refused, Not Interested, or Other |
| Skipped           | All residents were skipped                                                          |

The status reflects the *household* as a whole. It rolls up the individual outcomes you record for each resident — so a household won't move out of Not Yet Canvassed until you've completed (or skipped) every resident inside.

The contact statuses available to canvassers (which roll up into household statuses) are configured in [App Customization](/product-tour-or-hq/app-customization.md) → Contact Statuses.
{% endhint %}

## How statuses appear

### In Map View

Each household is a pin on the map. The pin's icon and color reflect the status — single houses and apartments have their own Not Yet Canvassed icons so you can spot apartments before visiting, while post-canvass status pins look the same regardless of property type.

{% endcontent-ref %}

### In List View

Each row in the list shows a status indicator next to the address.

## Changing a status

You don't set the household status directly. It updates automatically based on the contact statuses you log for each resident. To change a household's status, open it from Map View or List View and log a new outcome for one or more residents from the [Canvass Profile](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/canvass-profile.md).
