Distance constraints

Distance constraints for territories

Setting distance values is an important feature to constrain your territories. A distance value is a threshold you can set to ensure that a territory doesn't exceed variable limits.

You set your distance constraints within the Setup Level Parameters... wizard.

1. Select the preferred distance unit from the Distance units drop-down menu.
2. Select distance parameters from the three options available.

The following options are available which allow you to constrain the size of your territories:

• Maximum distance from territory center – the maximum distance a territory boundary can grow from its center. Features which are outside the specified distance are not assigned to the territory.
• Minimum distance from territory center – the minimum distance a territory can be from the center of a nearby territory. Features closer, than the specified distance, to the center of a neighboring territory are not assigned to the target territory.
• Minimum distance between territory centers – this distance constraint is used to set the minimum distance between territory centers.
