Posters & boards

Plan a poster round

Poster work starts with requests, one poster or one posterboard wanted at one address. A round bundles a set of them into a single job for one volunteer, who then delivers and puts them up.

01

See where requests come from

A door-knocker records a request at the door, one per household rather than one per resident. An organiser can add one by hand from a phone call or an email. A sign-up form on a public action page creates one too, though it arrives flagged Not on register until you match it to an address already on your register.

02

Add a request by hand

On the List sub-tab select Add request. Search Find resident by elector id, name or address, the search covers the ward only, and tick Members only to narrow it further. Pick the resident, choose Kind, poster or posterboard, add Notes if the deliverer needs to know something, then select Save.

03

Create the round

On the Assignments sub-tab select Create poster round. Pick the Kind, a round is posters or posterboards, not both, choose who it goes to under Assign to and set a Due date. Leave Title blank for a name like Poster round · Holland Park, or write your own.

04

Pick the addresses and send it

Under Pick addresses tick the requests for this round, with Select all and clear next to the count. Select Create round and it lands straight in the volunteer's assignments, with a progress bar on the Assignments sub-tab as they work through it.

What to check
  • The address picker only offers open requests of the chosen kind that are not already in a live round, so two volunteers are never sent to the same door.
  • Resident search returns nothing at all once more than 20 people match. Type a few more characters rather than browsing the whole register.
  • Mark up on the List sub-tab records a poster as already displayed without any round attached. Undo puts it back to requested.
  • Export CSV downloads every request in the ward with its current status.
