    Role required: sn_fsm_tp.fsm_territory_planner, sn_fsm_tp.territory_manager

    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Use GeoJSON geography type to accommodate scenarios where detailed geo-spatial information is available externally, enabling organizations to incorporate diverse geographic datasets into the planning processes.
    Hinweis:
    For effective task assignments using Schedule Optimization, it is recommended to use consistent shapes (like polygons or circles) and avoid overlapping or intersecting geographies to ensure accurate results.

    Prozedur

    1. Navigate to All > Field Service > Territory Planning > Territory Geography.
    2. In the Territory Geographies page, select New.
    3. On the form, fill in the fields.

      Field Description
      Name Name of the geography.
      Geography type Select GeoJSON.
      GeoJSON Use the GeoJSON format for encoding variety of geographical data structures. GeoJSON supports the geometry types such as polygon, multi-polygon, and circle.
    4. Select Submit.
      The geography of type GeoJSON is created based on the given coordinates.

    Ergebnisse

    After creating a GeoJSON geography, connect it to a territory for work order management; the associated territory will be listed in the Territories related list when you open the geography record. The geography of GeoJSON type appears visually on the map when its territory is selected in the Territory Planning console.

    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Allows you to interactively draw shapes such as polygons or circles directly on the map, streamlining the process of creating territories for effective task assignment. If necessary, you can create a multi polygon based geography by drawing multiple polygons on the map. For example, if the geographic area for a territory comprises water and land, you can select multiple land areas spread across the water body to define a territory geography.

      • To draw a geography using an existing territory, choose Draw using territory and select the desired territory from the list in the Territories panel.
      • To search for an area on the map, by entering a location in the Search address bar, select Draw on map.
      Hinweis:
      To create a geography based on the presence of resources (Agents, Crews, or Assets), select the desired resources from the overlay options displayed on the map.
    5. Select the drawing tool.
      • To draw a boundary area or multiple areas, use the polygon shape icon (Draw a shape icon.).
      • To define a geography with a specific radius, use the circle shape icon (Draw a circle icon.).
    6. In the Name field, enter the name for the geography.
      A GeoJSON script is automatically generated.
    7. Click Save.
