Create Territory Solution (Territory Design Tools)

Summary

Creates a new territory solution with two levels and loads input features into the base level.

Usage

  • Input features for the base level can be a point feature layer or a polygon feature layer.

  • The type of input layer will determine how the base level is displayed, for example, points or polygons.

  • Additional geometries can be created to display either boundary centers or polygon boundaries.

  • Additional layers can be created to display the base level, for example, centers of polygons or boundaries of points.

  • The ID Field and the Name Field parameters are optional. Specifying these parameters will load attribute values from the input features to uniquely identify features in the base layer, such as ZIP Codes or census tract names. If no ID field is specified, a unique ID will be automatically generated.

  • By default, all of the fields in the input layer will be added to the territory solution. You can turn off field visibility by right-clicking the column header and clicking Hide Field if you do not want the field to be added to the territory solution.

  • The %Number% variable determines where the integer number is placed, either after or before the territory name—for example, Territory %Number% produces Territory 1, Territory 2, and so forth, and %Number% Territory produces 1 Territory, 2 Territory, and so forth.

  • A mask layer is only supported for a point-based territory solution.
