Territory Map

Territory maps allow polygons, polylines, or points to be grouped into territories by defining a grid or by hand selecting the areas for territories. The Property Manager Territory and Map pages display information about the territory map including the active territory, the territory name, fill color, number of objects in a territory, and statistics.

Territory maps can be made for polygons, polylines, or points. The fill color is assigned to the territory's polygons, polylines, or points.

Categorizing Objects

The territory map is used to group objects and report statistics based on the groups. If you wish to assign colors to areas based on data, use the hatch map instead. If you wish to categorize points based on data, use a pin map. If you wish to categorize curves, use a flow map.
