- Configure territory levels to categorize territories such as regional, district, area, and global for better territory management, reporting accuracy, and alignment of sales strategies with business complexity.

This model serves as the foundation for assigning territories to key customer relationship management (CRM) entities such as accounts, consumers, leads, and opportunities. By defining territory levels and relationships within the model, organizations can verify consistent territory assignment, streamline sales operations, and support accurate forecasting and reporting.

- Territory members are added with their designated responsibilities. These responsibilities determine the level of access each user has to CRM entities within the territory hierarchy.

- Run Assignments

Each territory is evaluated against its own conditions and any cascaded territory conditions associated with the CRM entity.
