## Tracking Manual Territory Alignment History

The Manual Territory Alignment History object in Vault CRM tracks when end users manually add an account to their territory in order to document interactions. Records of this object provide an auditable history of when an account was manually assigned to a territory that can be used by business admins and other management groups for both reporting and for use in territory alignment decisions.

Manual Territory Alignment History records are automatically created whenever a user manually assigns an account to their territory, and contains references to the user, account, the account’s previous territories, and the account’s new territories.
