# Default values for territory creation

## The map creator of a territory manager can define default values for isochrone creation.

These default values are set in the map settings. From the **Map Gallery**, click on your map name to open the information panel. Then click on the **Territories** tab.

This tab allows you to view and/or manage:

- [Layers IDs](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/default-values-for-territory-creation#layers-ids)
- [Address search constraint](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/default-values-for-territory-creation#address-search)
- [Territory Area](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/default-values-for-territory-creation#territory-area)
- [Zones](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/default-values-for-territory-creation#zones)

### Layers IDs

The first part of the Territories tab informs you of the blocks, points of sales and territories layers that are used in the map.

### Address search constraint

You can set the country in which the territories are located to limit the search results by address. The country is identified by a two-letter code: US, CA, FR, etc.

The list of codes for all countries is available [here](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/).

### Parameters for territory creation

This part allows you to define the **default values** for the creation of territories.

The simple mode allows to choose :

- **distance type**: Time, Distance, As the crow flies![distance-type](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/distance-type.png?width=376&name=distance-type.png)
- **transport mode**: car, public transport, walking.
- **drive time** (Minutes)
- the type of **spatial selection**: you can choose the block selection method once the isochrone is drawn  
  ![spatial-selection](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/spatial-selection.png?width=399&name=spatial-selection.png) 
    - **Have their centroid within** the blocks whose centroid is inside the isochrone will be added to the territory
    - **Are entirely within**: the blocks located entirely inside the isochrone will be added to the territory
    - **Intersect**: the blocks that intersect the isochrone will be added to the territory
- **Default status**: choose the default status when new territory is created![default-state](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/default-state.png?width=383&name=default-state.png)

### Zones

The Zones section allows you to rename each zone and change its default travel time. You can also delete the largest zone, or add a zone.

![add-remove-zone](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/add-remove-zone.png?width=432&name=add-remove-zone.png)

⚠️  Adding or removing a zone will have a direct impact on your territories: blocks will be added or removed from all territories.
