Solve Territories (Territory Design)—ArcGIS Pro

Available with Business Analyst license.

Summary

Creates and balances territories on the specified territory level provided that the balancing variables are set.

The number of territories must be specified manually for the User Defined option.
Calculation of the optimal number of territories requires that constraints be set. Constraints can be based on a numeric value or a distance.

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Input Territory Solution	The territory solution that will be used to solve territories.	Group Layer; Feature Dataset; String
Level	The level that will be used to solve territories.	String
Number of Territories Method	Specifies the method that will be used to calculate the number of territories. User Defined—The number of territories will be provided by the user. This is the default. Optimal—The number of territories will be calculated automatically.	String
Number of Territories (Optional)	The number of territories to be specified.	Long
Quality (%) (Optional)	An integer between 1 and 200 that determines the performance of a solve operation. A lower value will provide better performance but quality may be affected. The default value is 100.	Long

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Updated Territory Solution	The updated territory solution.	Group Layer
