# Managing territories and agents from Territory Planning console

Use the Territory Planning Console to assign work orders or work order tasks to agents or crews in the territories that best match their location based on conditions that you set.

## Territory Planning Console

The territory map in the Territory Planning Console provides a visual representation of a territory so you can easily see the location of the agents and crews assigned to the territory and also assign the work order tasks.

The personas with the role sn\_fsm\_tp.fsm\_territory\_read will only have the view access to Territory Planning console.

**Note:** To identify the best matched territory for a work order task, you must enable the **Field\_Service\_Territories** territory model. For more information, see [Enable the Field Service territory model](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/field-service-management/workforce-optimization-for-field-service/enable-territory-model.md).

The following table describes the list of activities you can perform as a territory planner, territory manager, and resource manager in the territory Planning console.
