It's best to plan territories with live Salesforce data. That way, you can ensure that your territory planning always reflects updates to Salesforce records. If you prefer to work with copied data, import it into Territory Planning datasets. If you import data, depending on your business processes, consider refreshing your data sources periodically so that Territory Planning includes more current, relevant Salesforce data.
