Territory Planning Icons

The following icons are used in the territory planning workbench.

Icon Explanation
This icon represents the location of the engineer (if specified in territory planning). All the serialized items assigned to the engineer are in the same colour and the icon must have the color of the serialized items that are assigned to the engineer. Note This icon also displays the picture of the engineer, if available. You can add a picture using the drag-and-drop option.
This icon represents the reference point that is specified for the engineer. This reference point must have the same color as that of the engineer assigned.
This icon represents the center of gravity of the items that belong to the same territory.
This icon indicates a serialized item
  • The amber colour part indicates that the item is linked to a territory planning specified in the Plan A and is assigned to either a territory or a preferred engineer.
  • The blue colour indicates that the item is linked to a territory planning specified in the Plan B and is assigned to either a territory or a preferred engineer.
This icon represents the serialized item specified in the Plan A of the work bench. The serialized item is not linked to a preferred engineer or territory in Plan B.
This icon represents the serialized item, with only one territory planning is selected either in the Plan A or in the Plan B.
Note: The guide lines for images are as follows:
  • The employee image that is uploaded must have a 500x500 dimension
  • Resolution must be 300 dpi and above. A Lesser Dpi can scatter the image.
  • The images can have these extensions: .jpg, .gif, or .png.

Workspace Menu

The Serialized items, Planning A and Planning B are the various sections in the workbench. The toggle menu and the docking control, allows you to minimize or maximize these sections.

The other options are the default layouts for the workbench. For example, when you select the Map Above Planning Screen option, the map is placed above the planning A and B section and the serialized items grid is placed on the right side of the map. You can further customize this view by arranging the section using the drag and drop options of the docking control. The user can save the new setting using the Save Settings option in the Settings Menu . The same view is available every time you access the workbench.

Multi-Screen scenario and Default views

The Workspace menu provides three default views. With the help of these views, users can build their settings. For example, if you want to have a multi-screen environment and the map must be placed on one monitor and the rest of the planning screens on a second monitor, you must:

  • Select a default view.
  • Customize the view as per your requirement
  • Save the view using the Save Settings option.
  • Next time when you open the workbench, the last saved view is available.
  • You can resizes the browser and stretches it to the width such that one portion appears on monitor 1 and the second one appears on monitor 2.
