You want to make sure that as changes are made to these records, your territory alignment is updated accordingly. For example, when a new account is added, when a contact's primary specialty changes, or when an asset is moved to a new address, you want to have the sales team or owner for the record updated automatically and within a short period of time. To maintain alignment, you set up Assignment Manager to run the alignment rules in batch mode at regular intervals, for example, once a week.
