¶ Distributed Canvassing with MiniVAN
SETTING UP DISTRIBUTED CANVASSING
1. From the Organizer Dashboard, select Create New.
2. In the Create Distributed Canvass pop-up window, name your canvass and indicate how many doors you want to be assigned to each canvasser. Then select your MiniVAN Campaign and your Saved Search or universe.
Under Advanced features, you can adjust the canvass radius and the number of days that a list can stay checked out to an individual canvasser.
3. Next, you’ll see a list number that you can distribute to all of your canvassers. (Each canvasser will use the same list number.) Their turf will be auto-generated based on where they are located when they type the list number into the MiniVAN app.
Each canvasser will get a unique list of doors and once a door has been assigned to a canvasser, it can’t be checked out by another canvasser for a set period of time. That list is checked out to them until the voters are checked back into the Distributed Canvassing universe or the days checked out has passed. You can customize the ruleset for the number of days that a list can stay checked out on a device.
After the canvass, you will be able to see a full Distributed Canvassing report.
