Examples of Inherited Territory Coverage

Use territory inheritance to make coverage changes to one source territory and automatically propagate those changes to recipient territories that have an inheritance relationship to the source territory.

Use overrides to change the dimensional coverage and other dimension information, and to qualify the included customers and their hierarchies to only those that match the override information.

In this example, the industry and product dimensions are enabled. This table provides the source territory definition.
