Identifying the Territories to Show in the Topology View
By default, the system displays all territories in the topology view.
You can define one or more node groupings to identify a group of territories. After identifying a node grouping, you can select whether you want to:
*View or hide the territories in the node grouping.
*Show each territory using individual nodes for each or combine all territories in the node grouping and display them as a single node.
*To identify the territories to display in the topology view
1. Display the topology view as described in Displaying the Territory Topology View.
2. Click the Display Settings link.
3. Click the Node Grouping tab.
4. Click New Group to define a new node grouping.
5. On the Add Topology Display Group page, set the following fields:
Field
Description
Match Type and Match Name
Use the Match Type and Match Name fields to identify a group of territories. The match is case sensitive.
*Match Type. The Match Type identifies the attribute of a territory that you want to use to form the group. The only Match Type is Territory Name, which allows you to create a group of territories that have the same or similar territory names.
*Match Name. Specify text to use to find matching territories for the group. For example, if you want a group of territories that all have names that begin with "p", specify p* in the Match Name field.
When specifying the Match Name, you can place an asterisk (*) at the end of the specified text to match multiple characters.
Visible
Select the Visible check box to have the system include the group of territories in the topology view.
Clear the Visible check box if you do not want the system to display the territories in the topology view.
Combined
Select the Combined check box to have the system combine all the matching territories into a single node for the topology view. When the system displays the single node, it labels the node with the value you specify for Match Name.
Clear the Combined check box if you want the system to display each matching territory using individual nodes.
6. Click OK to close the Add Topology Display Group page and return to the Node Grouping tab on the Territory Display Options page.
7. If you want to create another grouping, repeat steps step 4 through step 6.
8. After creating the node groupings, use the buttons in the Move Up and Move Down columns, which are on the Territory Display Options page, to put the groupings in the order you want. For more information, see About Ordering the Node Groupings.
9. Click OK on the Territory Display Options page.
Tip:
You can export the list of node groupings to a .csv file by clicking Export Table.
