Your First Territory
Let's create a simple territory to get familiar with the workflow.
Step 1: Open Map Builder
- Click Map Builder in the top navigation
- The map will load, centered on your congregation's area
- You'll see an empty canvas ready for territory creation
Step 2: Draw a Territory Boundary
- Click the Polygon tool in the toolbar (square icon)
- Your cursor will change to a crosshair
- Click points on the map to define your territory boundary
- Double-click to complete the polygon
- The territory will appear on the map with a default color
Tip: Start with a small, simple area for your first territory. You can always expand it later!
Step 3: Set Territory Properties
After drawing, the territory is automatically selected and the edit panel opens.
- Reference ID: Enter your territory number (e.g., "YT-101")
- Title: Use a street intersection for easy searching (e.g., "Oak & Main", "Broadway & 12th")
- Type: Select territory type (House to House, Apartment, Business, etc.)
- Locality: Choose or create a locality (neighborhood/area)
Tip: Using street intersections as titles makes territories much easier to find when searching or assigning. Publishers can quickly identify territories by familiar street names.
Click outside the panel or press Enter to save changes.
Step 4: Add Addresses
Now add addresses to your territory. You have three options:
Option 1: Pull Addresses (Fastest - Recommended)
- Open the Addresses tab while the territory remains selected
- Click the orange Pull button in the toolbar
- Wait 1-2 minutes while the system searches for addresses
- Review the fetched addresses and click Replace to add them
Tip: Pull automatically fetches addresses from publicly available data feeds. This is the fastest way to populate a new territory!
Option 2: Add Individual Addresses
- Open the Addresses tab
- Click Add Address button
- Fill in address details (house number, street, city, postal code)
- Click Save to add to territory
Option 3: Import CSV
- Open the Addresses tab
- Click Import CSV button
- Upload your CSV file with address data
- Map columns and import addresses in bulk
When to use each method:
- Pull: Starting a new territory - let the system find addresses for you
- Add Individual: Adding a few missing addresses or corrections
- Import CSV: You already have address data in a spreadsheet
Step 5: Save Your Work
Important: Territory Wallet has two save modes:
Save Draft (disk icon button)
- Saves your work temporarily to cloud storage
- Changes are NOT visible to publishers yet
- Use this while you're still working
Publish (arrow-up icon button)
- First saves a draft, then publishes changes
- Makes territories visible to publishers
- Triggers background processing (geocoding, validation)
- Use this when your territory is ready
For your first territory, click Save Draft to preserve your work.
Best Practice: Save drafts frequently while working. Publish only when territories are complete and ready for publisher use.
