Welcome to Territory Assistant


Updated: February 20, 2024
February 2024 Update

In January we released a larger update to Territory Assistant. Not one large feature, but many smaller fixes and improvements.

Below is a short summary of some highlights.

  • New: Congregation Role Permissions
  • New: Select Map style in QR Territory View
    • It is now possible to change the map mode when viewing a QR Territory
  • New: ‘Contact Linker’ released. Automatically locates and binds contacts to a territory
  • New: Territory Shape Import/Export
    • Will export Territory Shapes to a CSV which can be used for backup and restore
    • Should also be compatible with NWS
  • Fix: an issue logging out, where it was impossible to log in as another user
    • It is now possible to log in under different Google profiles, and switch accounts in TA.
  • Improvement: Several performance improvements made to the site load and map generation
    • Not only does the site load faster, but most maps now generate almost instantly.

Besides this, a tremendous amount of work has gone into the backend that addresses other technical issues.

Wall Maps: As many will surely be excited to hear, we have right now in beta testing the creating of Congregation Wall Maps.

Territory Designer: Also on our roadmap is the return of the Custom Territory Designer. The support team has had access to the Territory Designer for some time, able to assist congregations with specific needs. We would like to make available an early version this for general use. More news will come on this over time.
