Summary


Moving accounts between territories is easily done within Perenso Administrator.


Accounts are typically put into a 'Territory' which is an 'Account Group'. The Account Group is then attached to a user. When an Account Group is attached to a user, they gain access to every account in that territory.


There are 2 ways you can change accounts within a territory:

  • Moving a single account
    This is done if you only have 1 or 2 accounts to move.
    It is a manual process but is the easiest way to do a small number of changes.
  • Bulk moving accounts by group
    Accounts are placed into groups and these groups are assigned to users.
    You can move groups between  users using Administrator.
  • Bulk moving accounts by import
    If moving a large number of accounts, the best method is to export a list of accounts, make the changes in Excel and then import those changes.

  2. From the left hand side select Accounts.
  3. Search for the account you wish to move.
