A temporary field that displays any notes entered by the assigned publisher when mark a territory as Completed using the NW Publisher app.

The Territory Servant can use the Notes from Publisher to make any necessary adjustments, and then delete the notes.

Data Size

The bottom-right corner will display the total Data Size for this territory. The Data Size is made up from all the Territory Information as well as the Territory Boundary.

Addresses, Assignments or Map view screenshots do not affect the data size.

If the Data Size for the selected territory is greater than 3000 bytes, a red Warning will be shown. The most common causes of large data is:

Too many Territory Notes. Please keep notes brief.
Too many Territory Boundary points. Please keep territory boundaries simple and don’t add too many points.
Very long Territory Links

As there is a limit of how much data can be sent to the NW Publisher app, if you have too many large territories Assigned at once, you may receive errors when sending app data.
