This is your database to view of your contact universe. The search and filtering function allows you to segment your contacts and put them together into Lists.

Getting started

Contact database
This section contains all of the information that you have available within your contact database, including custom fields and interaction information.

2. The Search function allows you to locate a contact, house, street or list within your database.
3. View an individual contact or house by clicking on the individual row.
Edit an individual contact or house by clicking on the pencil icon.
4. You can interact with a contact or house directly from this view by clicking on the clipboard icon. This feature can be accessed directly from the mobile browser, just log in as you would to the app.

Filter function
The Filter Function allows you to segment your Contact database:
The filter panel is hidden by default, simply click on the FUNNEL icon to display your filter options.
Filtering is based on the information you have on your contacts; for example, whether or not they have been interacted with or surveyed, survey results, age, gender or your custom fields. Many filter options have sub filter options, that provides you with the ability to drill down even further into database.
Click on the "three dots" icon at the top of your filter panel to save your filter.
List function
The LIST function is a powerful and time saving tool at your disposal within Ecanvasser, that allows you to segment your database based on a single or multiple data points. Some typical examples of using lists:
identify specific areas/houses/streets to be interacted with by specific teams
segment a list of houses based on location
manage a list of contacts who have requested a call back
highlight contacts who have volunteered
Segment your database by using the search function or the filter function.
Select the contacts.
Add all contacts to a list.
