Restricted Territories

Understand how to format, upload, and manage territories

Territories allow you to visualize various polygons and assign them to account users. Territories can be standard geographies — such as DMAs, cities, and states — or custom polygons to reflect your existing development agreements.

After creating territories, you can assign them to specific users so that these individuals can only view sites, create forecasts, and run impact analyses within the boundaries of their territory. Users may include personnel on your development team or franchisees in your organization.

Formatting a CSV file for territory upload

Territory data can be uploaded to the SiteZeus platform via files in well-known text (WKT) format with the following headings:

Territory name: The name that appears when hovering over a territory

Territory ID: A unique ID you can use for internal reference to a territory

Territory shape boundary: The outline of the WKT-formatted polygon

Assigned territory user: The individuals given access to the territory
