# Support Levels

Support levels are a key metric for campaigns to gauge voter sentiment. FieldEdge uses NationBuilder's support level scale, letting you record a contact's level of support during canvass walks and call time sessions.

## The Support Level Scale

| Level | Meaning        |
| ----- | -------------- |
| **1** | Strong support |
| **2** | Lean support   |
| **3** | Undecided      |
| **4** | Lean oppose    |
| **5** | Strong oppose  |

## Setting a Support Level During Canvass

When completing a contact during a canvass walk or call time session:

1. After selecting the contact status (e.g., Answered), you'll be prompted to set a support level
2. Tap the appropriate level (1–5)
3. The support level is saved and synced to NationBuilder

{% hint style="info" %}
Support level is not a required field. If you don't have enough information to gauge support, you can skip it and move on.
{% endhint %}

## Viewing Support Levels

Support levels are visible on a contact's profile under the **Support** tab. They also appear in the [Performance](/product-tour-or-hq/performance.md) reports, where you can see average support levels and breakdowns by canvasser.
