Assign a walk to a volunteer

  1. Open the walk from Dashboard → Walks
  2. Click Assign Walker
  3. The eligibility picker opens — find and select one or more volunteers (see Filtering with the eligibility picker below)
  4. Click Confirm assignments
The volunteers see the walk immediately in their mobile app.

​
Filtering with the eligibility picker

The eligibility picker lets you find the right volunteers for a specific walk. Use the filters at the top to narrow the list: Each row shows the volunteer’s completed walk count, doors knocked, and months active so you can compare at a glance.

​
Saving a preset

If you use the same filters regularly, click Save preset, give it a name, and it will appear in the Presets dropdown the next time you open the picker.

​
Eligibility modes

Every walk has an eligibility mode that controls who can access it: Change the mode from the walk detail page → Eligibility dropdown.

​
Scheduling a walk

To schedule a walk for a specific date:
  1. Open the walk detail page
  2. Click Schedule
  3. Pick the date and time
  4. Save
Volunteers see the scheduled date in their app. The walk doesn’t appear as active until the scheduled time.

​
Notifying volunteers

When you assign a walk, volunteers automatically receive a push notification if they have the Culper app installed with notifications enabled. To send a manual notification to all assigned volunteers:
  1. Open the walk detail page
  2. Click Notify Walkers
  3. Enter a short message (max 160 characters)
  4. Click Send

Bulk assignment

To assign multiple walks to the same volunteer at once:

  2. Select the walks you want to assign
  3. Click Organize → Assign Walker

This is useful before a large canvass day when you want to pre-load routes for each volunteer.
