T2K’s Map Section and Street Order
Map Section
The Map Section separates the territory by section by assigning a letter. For instance, if you have Territory 1B and you like to split the territory in two because Territory B is large and you would like to make it easy for the publishers to find the streets and the house numbers. See the following scenario.
Scenario:
1.) Your Territory 10 is very large and the publishers have a hard time finding the streets.
2.) You decide section Territory 10 in 3 sections.
3.) On the map itself, you mark the Territory 10 by drawing the borders for section A, B and C.
4.) By studying the map, you know what streets belong to what section.
5.) Using Territory Administrator 2000, you use the “Map Section” to assign the corresponding letter to the specific house record based street that is inside the section you drew on the map.
Of course, you can decide not to use the “Map Section” and instead create Territories 10A, 10B, 10C. However, you will have to manage more territories that way, for example the ‘checking-in’ and ‘checking-0ut’ process.
Street Order
The “Street Order” option helps sort the list of streets by aa logical order of streets based on the territory map, otherwise the streets will default to an alphabetical list order.
For example: Let us say that a publisher goes to the territory and he comes across the first street named “San Juan Drive”. Then this street will be designated with the number 1 under the “Order” selection. So, the record will indicate “[1] San Juan Drive.”
The second street that the publisher comes across is named “Circus Plaza.” Then it is designated with a 2, and so on, respectively.
Example:
| Without Order (alphabetized): | With logical Order: |
| Circus Plaza | [1] San Juan Drive |
| Red Lion | [2] Circus Plaza |
| River Run | [3] Sol Grande |
| San Juan Drive | [4] River Run |
| Sol Grande | [5] Red Lion |
Import to T2K Step-by-Step
When you open the tables with T2K, you have features that will help you import data from excel, such as Copy, Cut, Paste, Paste Append, Paste Special. You won’t find an option for a fast, global import. Therefore, it’s a matter of copying and pasting to the T2K Tables.
1.) Go to the main control panel to open the tables you need to import to.
2.) Make sure that your excel spreadsheet has the same columns (fields in access) that the T2K table has. Make sure there are in the same order too. Make sure that your spreadsheet is sorted by your “territory number” field which sorts by numeric order.
3.) A good rule is to copy a column at a time and then paste on the T2K appropriate field. Remember, alpha text, cannot be pasted on a T2K numeric field. In addition, if you see T2K’s ID field on any of its tables, you can bypass that field since you don’t have to paste to that field.
As you can see, it might take a little effort to import your existing data. But with a little trial-and-error, we’re sure you can succeed in making the change to T2K.
Using the Publisher’s History List
You create a publisher by adding their first and last name and their group name in each corresponding box. Then select their type by selecting, elder, ministerial servant, pioneer, publisher or visiting overseer. You cannot add the same publisher again twice. This is to prevent duplicates.
You use the history option to build a list of publishers that don’t check out territories anymore. This helps keep your drop down list boxes clean when creating registering territory. When you delete a publisher, you will also delete any history archive that is associated with that publisher.
Note: You will want to build your ‘book study groups’ first in order to begin adding publishers.
