New Product Update: Smarter Field Mapping

At Ecanvasser, we're always striving to make your fieldwork experience smoother and more effective. Our latest update, the Mapping Toolbar, is designed to give you greater control and flexibility in the field. Whether you're managing large territories or focusing on specific neighborhoods, these tools empower you to work more efficiently. Plus, we've introduced customizable dashboards for each turf, so you can keep everything organized and make data-driven decisions on the fly.

Here’s what’s new:

What’s in the Mapping Toolbar?

Smarter Turf Management

• Precision Tools: Use Polygon and Free Draw Modes to define your canvassing areas with pinpoint accuracy, whether you’re working in a large city or a small neighborhood.
• Editable Turf Points: Easily adjust boundaries as needed, ensuring your turfs are always up-to-date.
• Colored Team Turfs: Visually distinguish different areas your teams are working on. This makes it simple to see who’s covering what, preventing overlap and ensuring efficient management.

Instant Pin Drops

• One-Click Addition: Found a new household? Use the Quick Pin Drop feature to instantly add it to your map—no complex databases or extra setup required.
• Satellite and Street View Friendly: Precisely mark new household locations on the map, especially useful when using satellite or street map views.
• Why It Matters: Quick Pin Drop helps you adapt on the spot, ensuring no household is overlooked. It streamlines the process, keeping your focus on canvassing instead of administrative tasks.

Custom Map Views

• Personalized Views: Customize your map to match your style—whether you prefer a detailed satellite view or a simpler layout, Custom Map Views have you covered.
• User Activity Tracking: Display the last active location of users, allowing you to easily track where your team members were most recently working.
• Real-Time Field Tracking: For live updates, use our real-time field tracking feature to monitor your team’s movements in the field.
• Marker Clustering: Manage crowded maps more efficiently by determining when to cluster house markers into circle markers. This feature helps you balance ease of use with performance, keeping your map clear and manageable, even in densely canvassed areas.

Dive into Customizable Dashboards

We know how crucial it is to keep a close eye on your progress in the field, so we’ve added customizable dashboards for every turf. These dashboards are designed as a side panel that gives you a comprehensive, real-time view of what’s happening in each area, all in one place.

Here’s how you can make the most of it:

• Track Your Progress: Instantly see key metrics like doors knocked, appointments set, and more, all at a glance. This allows you to quickly assess how your team is performing in each area.
• Monitor Team Activity: Stay updated on your team’s progress in real-time, checking who’s active, where they’re working, and how effectively they’re covering their assigned turfs. This ensures everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
• Customize Your Dashboard: The side panel can be fully customized based on the specific reports and metrics you need to see from your turf. Whether you want to view the creation date of a list, when it was last active, or the list type, you can tailor your dashboard to display the exact information that’s most relevant to you.
• Dynamic Lists: Now, all lists are created dynamically by default, meaning they’re automatically updated and refined as new data comes in. You can also pull a refresh to update your turf instantly, ensuring that you always have the most current information at your fingertips.

These customizable dashboards give you complete control and visibility over your fieldwork, allowing you to manage your operations with precision and confidence. By having all this information readily available in a format that suits your needs, you can make quicker, more informed decisions and ensure your team’s success.
