Usage

If you want to use service territories, determine which territories you need to create. Depending on how your business works, you may decide to create territories based on cities or counties, or on functional categories such as sales versus service. If you plan to build out a hierarchy of service territories, create the highest-level territories first.

For example, you can create a hierarchy of territories to represent the areas where your team works in California. Include a top-level territory named California, three child territories named Northern California, Central California, and Southern California, and a series of third-level territories corresponding to California counties. Assign service resources to each county territory to indicate who is available to work in that county.
