NW Scheduler/Publisher - Updates, Support, and Suggestions

[lucas.rocha1000]

Hi everyone,

Is there a way in NWS/NW Publisher to track individual blocks within a territory?

For example, if Territory 16 has 10 blocks and only blocks 1–6 were completed, I would like to record that blocks 7–10 are still pending, so this information is available the next time the territory is assigned.

Ideally, each block could be numbered on the map and marked as completed or pending.

Does NWS already have a way to do this? If so, how are you handling it?

Thanks!

You could achieve this if you fully adopt the territory system in NWS. For the given territory, you would need to add every address on every block. You could then ask the publishers to work the territory by blocks. That is, do block 1, then block 2, etc. They would need to carefully mark the addresses they worked. (At Home, Not Home, No Trespassing, etc). If the territory were turned in before all the blocks were worked, the un-worked addresses would be labeled "Available". You could then re-assign the territory WITHOUT resetting the addresses. 

 

If you did not want to add all the addresses for each property, you could do a simplified variation:

STEP #1: Just add a single address in the middle of the block - it will initially be marked "Available". (See Pic 1)

STEP #2: Add a label to the address (Example: Block #1) It will now show up in the Territory Address list as "Block #1)  (See pic 2)

STEP #3: The publishers could then work the territory block-by-block in their normal pattern. As each block is finished, the one managing the territory could tap the block address and mark it "Done" (You can create a custom button for that purpose, if you like).
