Create Territory Level Feature Classes (Territory Design)

Available with Business Analyst license.

Summary

Creates feature classes for a specified territory level.

Usage

• The output point feature classes represent the centers of the features at the base or territory level.

• The output polygon feature classes represent the boundaries (perimeters) of the features at the base or territory level.

• The base level can only contain base boundaries and base centers.

• A Thiessen polygon will be created for the base boundary feature class if a point-based solution is created.

• The default feature class for a polygon solution is Base Territory Boundaries.

  

• The default feature class for a point solution is Base Territory Centers.

  

• The polygon feature classes represent boundaries (perimeters) of the features in territory level.

  

• The point feature classes represent territory centers.
