For example, you create a dataset that includes Salesforce accounts. You then optimize focuses in Territory Planning, which updates account owners for many of your accounts. So you publish those updates to your account records in Salesforce.

  1. From the map, click Publish.
    Publish option
  2. Select Salesforce Fields, and click Next.

  3. Set the publish scope to Focus. Under Add Object, select the unit that you want to publish, such as Accounts in the USA.
  4. Select the target Salesforce object, such as Account.
  5. Select the source field that you want to publish and its corresponding Salesforce field that you want to update.

    For example, you want the owner identifications for accounts in Salesforce to reflect the updated owner identifications in Territory Planning, so you select Owner Id for the source and target fields.
