  1. Thanks Sandhya for the good session, I have three questions here. Please help me with your responses.

    1)Is this a valid scenario – Assigning Account and related Opportunity different Territories?
    2)In the above case, Does the owner of Account and Opportunity will be assigned to different territories (As Territory users)?
    3)Are those access levels defined at Territories override other sharing settings (Org Wide level/Sharing Rules/Profile level)?

  2. Good and Informative Session By Sandhya. Explained ETM with Real time Use Case.
    Thanks Sandhya, Amit Bhaiya and Apex Hours Team.

  3. Territory management is critical n most of the times implemented to mimic org user role hierarchy. This session is really good start for understanding concepts.
