Generate a door-knocking round
A round is a boundary drawn on the ward map. Every household inside it belongs to that round. This guide takes a ward from its boundary to a round you can assign and print.
Open the ward and set a round length
Select Rounds on the ward workspace, then Generate rounds. Set how many minutes a round should take to walk. Ninety minutes is the default, and it works for a terrace street and a spread-out village alike, because rounds are sized by walking time, not household count.
Generate rounds from the road network
Cadrify builds rounds from the real road network under the ward, with guard rails on minimum and maximum doors per round if you want them. Generation runs in the background, so you can leave the page while it works and come back to a finished round set.
Draw a round by hand where you need to
Tap the map to place each corner of a custom boundary, finish the shape and name it. Useful for a boundary the road network alone would not draw sensibly, or a one-off patch.
Move households between rounds
Search by address or postcode in the Households view, tick the ones that belong elsewhere and move them to the right round. Nothing is fixed once it is generated.
- Draw a round and it saves itself. Renaming, deleting or moving households does not, so watch for the unsaved changes banner.
- A ward needs a linked geography before rounds can be drawn on it.
- No electors showing up in a round usually means the electoral register has not been imported for that ward yet.
