Territory Management Limits and Best Practices

The following limits apply to territories, their children, and their assignments:

  • A territory can have up to 100 direct children
  • An account can be in up to 250
  • A user can be assigned to up to 100 territories
  • There can be up to 25,000 total territories per Vault CRM instance
  • A territory can have up to 100,000 assigned accounts
  • A territory tree can have up to 10 levels

Use the following best practices when implementing Territory Management:

  • Do not use multiple alignment methods in the same territory
  • Territories should be as small as possible while ensuring accounts visible to end users are relevant
  • Ensure territory names adhere to the following guidelines:
  • Names must be unique
  • Do not begin a name with 0 (zero)
  • Do not include spaces, commas, or semicolons in names. This may cause errors in loads, exports, reports, maintenance, etc.
  • Use a short of a territory name when possible. Territories are frequently joined together for alignment processes, so short territory names avoid size limitation errors.
