# Creating and Prioritizing Datasets

In Salesforce Maps Advanced, a dataset is a collection of customer records containing location data for routing. Use datasets in your visit plan to determine the customers placed on routes, the reps assigned to routes, and how often customers are visited. To create routes that align with your business priorities, prioritize datasets in the visit plan.

- **[Creating Datasets for Generating Routes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.salesforce_maps_adv_visitplan_datasets_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To generate routes in Salesforce Maps Advanced, every visit plan requires at least one dataset. If your visit plan has customer groups with different visit requirements, create additional datasets that represent those customers. For example, you have reps who visit both leads and accounts, so you create separate datasets that represent them in your visit plan.
- **[Prioritize Datasets in Salesforce Maps Advanced](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.salesforce_maps_adv_visitplan_datasets_prioritize.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can prioritize certain customer visits over others, which increases the likelihood that they’re scheduled sooner and reps meet visit targets earlier. For example, if you have accounts that have different visit targets than leads, create a separate dataset, and make it the highest priority.
