## Searching for Out-Of-Territory Accounts Before Creating an Account

Admins can require users to perform a search for out-of-territory accounts prior to creating a new account. This reduces the chance that users accidentally create duplicate accounts.

When users attempt to create a new account, the account search page displays prompting the user to search for the account outside of their territory before creating a new account. If the account exists, the user adds it to their territory.

This feature overrides any other redirection behavior surrounding the New Account action, for example, the [New Account Wizard](../AcctWizards/New_Account_Wizard.htm) and the New Account DCR Process.
