Attribute capacity constraints

Available with Business Analyst license.

Setting capacity values is an important feature to constrain your territories. A capacity value is a threshold you can set to ensure that a territory doesn't exceed variable limits. For example, you can specify that all territories must stop growing in an area when a population of 10,000 is reached. The 10,000 figure is the capacity value.

You set your attribute capacity constraints within the Setup Level Parameters... wizard.

  1. Check the Constrain by attribute capacity check box.
    Constrain by attribute capacity
  2. Select variables with which you wish to define your territory capacity.
    Select variables
  3. Specify the capacity values for one or more of your attributes.
    Specify capacity values

Capacity values can be assigned in the following ways:

  • Minimum - hard attribute constraint where a territory must meet a base value.
  • Desired - soft attribute constraint where a territory will attempt to be within a reasonable range.
  • Maximum - hard attribute constraint where a territory must not exceed a ceiling value.

You can override the minimum and maximum constraints using advanced options. Overriding constraints may be needed to reach a required number of territories or to meet statistical parameters.
