Canvass Main Screen Overview (iOS)

Learn what appears on the main Canvass screen in Terros for iPhone and what each control does.

Written by Helaina Parks

Overview

Open the Terros app and tap Canvass in the bottom navigation bar to open the live map.

The Canvass screen is built around the map itself. Property pins, clusters, and overlays appear directly on the map, while the main controls float above it so you can search, filter, and adjust what you are viewing without leaving the screen.

Top Controls

Settings

The gear icon in the top-left corner opens app settings.

Search

The magnifying glass in the top-right corner opens Canvass search so you can look up an address, place, or saved result and jump the map to that location.

Tools

The tools button in the top-right corner opens the Canvass tools menu. Depending on your permissions and current mode, this menu can include actions such as:

  • Draw Area

  • Add Location

  • Manage Areas

  • Download Offline

  • Nearby Accounts

Some options only appear for users with the right permissions or when that feature is available for the current map view.

Map Controls

Activity Summary

Near the top-right side of the map, you may see an Active badge. This reflects current daily activity information for the map.

Tracking Mode

The location arrow control changes how the map follows your position. It can be used to center the map around your current location and adjust tracking behavior.

Daily Stats

The stats control opens daily canvassing stats for the current view.

Layers

The Layers control lets you choose which map layers are visible. The layer menu can include:

  • Autoselect

  • Customers

  • Pins

  • Parcel Boundary

  • Area Assignments

  • Solar Coverage

If pins or overlays seem to disappear, check the Layers menu first.

Filters

The Filter control opens the main Canvass filter sheet. The current iOS version supports:

  • A master Filters are off/on toggle

  • Properties and Sales Activity filter modes

  • Quick filters

  • Standard filters

Filter options can vary based on company setup, entitlements, and the type of data available in the current market.

Map Content

The map shows homes, properties, and account activity as pins or pin clusters. At wider zoom levels, nearby pins may combine into grouped counts. As you zoom in, the map reveals more individual locations and detail.

The current iOS Canvass view also supports layer-based overlays such as customers, parcel boundaries, area assignments, and solar coverage when those layers are enabled.

Bottom Navigation

The bottom navigation stays visible while you are in Canvass. In the current iPhone build, it includes:

  • Home

  • Calendar

  • Canvass

  • Teams & Users

  • Search

Things to Know

  • Some controls and menu options are conditional and may change based on permissions, company configuration, and whether you are actively drawing, managing areas, or working offline.

  • Filter options can vary depending on the type of data available in your market.
