Add Territory Seed Points (Territory Design)—ArcGIS Pro

Available with Business Analyst license.

Summary

Creates a point feature that is used to determine the starting point for creating territories.

Seed points can be point locations from franchise addresses, sales offices, or distribution centers and are a common method for creating territories.
Seed points are used as the starting point for creating territories but do not necessarily represent the center of the territories.
Pins represents seed points. Squares represents territory centers.
