On the map, the point of sale will be displayed as a blue circle.

2nd step: use drive times to create zones

Click on next  to define the area of your territory with drive times for each zone:set-drive-time-for-zones-zoom

The map is centred and zoomed to your territory, and the themeset will change according to the territory view parameters set in the parameters.

The isochrones of each zone appear in gray, and the total area of the territory appears in red.set-drive-time-for-zones

The value of each drive time can be changed by entering a new value in the text area (for Territory Manager Users only):drive-time

The default value can also be changed in the Territory creation rules.

The type of distance can also be changed using the advanced configurations:drive-time-advanced-settings

Here are the different types of distance that can be chosen:

  • Time: a number of minutes, using either car, bus or foot
  • Distance: a number of kilometers*, using the road network
  • As the crow flies: a number of kilometers* as the crow flies.

* Distance units depend on the map's ground unit.

3rd step: validate or edit your territory

Once you click finish , your territory will be created and added to the list. You are now in the edition mode of your territory, which will allow you either to change the block aggregation of your territory, or validate it.
