Using the Map

The map is your territory with a pin on every lead. It’s the screen for the question what’s around me, where the leads list answers what do I have.

Reading the pins

The colour is the stage:

Tap one and its card rises from the bottom — address, homeowner, what happened last time, and the buttons to navigate there or start a visit.

Nearest door

Bottom left, with the distance on it: Nearest door · 340 ft.

It takes you to the closest house that’s still worth knocking — open stages only, so it will never send you to one that’s already won, lost or asked not to be contacted. It’s the button for freelancing: you’ve finished your route, or you’re between appointments, and you want somewhere to go.

It needs your location. If it isn’t there, that’s why.

Finding one house

The search box at the top takes an address or a homeowner’s name, and it searches what’s on the map right now. Pick a result and the map flies to it and opens its card.

It also finds places that aren’t leads — a street name, a neighbourhood — which is how you get the map somewhere you haven’t got leads yet.

Filtering

The Filters button, top left, with a count on it when anything is set. Inside:

• Status — any stage, only open ones, or a specific set.
• Last visit — never knocked, today, last 7 days, last 30 days, over 30 days ago.
• No answer only — just the doors where the last knock went unanswered. The one for a second pass in the evening.
• Today’s route — only the stops on it.

Next to the button, All clears everything in one tap. If you opened the map from a list, that list is a chip up there too, with an × to come out of it.

Adding a house

Tap any house with no pin on it. The prompt at the bottom says so: Tap a house to add it as a lead. See Adding a Lead at the Door.

Map or List

The switch at the top right. List gives you the same filtered set as rows instead of pins — and it’s the one to use when the imagery won’t load, because the list needs no imagery at all.

There’s also Street at the bottom left, which walks a single street in house-number order.

When the imagery doesn’t load

Almost always signal. The map’s photography comes down as you pan and it’s the first thing to go.

Three things that help:

1. Switch to List. Your leads are all still there.
2. Download the area first if you know it’s bad — More → Offline maps, on wi-fi, before you leave. See Working with No Signal.
3. Check you’re not in another app’s browser. If you opened Allstar from a text message, a yellow bar says so — and your location doesn’t work in there, which is what the map needs to centre on you.
