Territory design is thousands of small actions, and the fastest designers barely touch the menus. Keyboard shortcuts are how you get there. This guide pulls every AlignMix shortcut into one place, grouped by what it does, with a short video for each group so you can see the exact keys in action.
Saving, Data, and the Touch Align Tool
The everyday essentials: save a territory report, save your alignment file, toggle account segments in the map view, pull up the Data Definition tool (for formatting your data), and adjust the circumference of the Touch Align tool on the fly. These are the ones you’ll use every session.
View and Print Shortcuts
Move around the map and get it out the door faster: batch print, switch to full-screen mode, zoom out to 100 percent, and bring up the Options menu without hunting for it.
Editing Territories
The shortcuts that speed up hands-on design: open the radial tool, pull up a territory’s properties, grab the re-color tool, and undo or redo an account color change.
Analysis and Layers
The power-user set: ZIP code search, configure layers, segmentation options, the hot spot view, creating an index for balancing, and creating a static layer. These are the shortcuts that turn a competent user into a fast one.
Getting the Shortcuts Into Your Hands
You won’t memorize all of these at once, and you don’t need to. Pick the three or four you’d use most, the save shortcuts, ZIP code search, the radial tool, and let them become muscle memory before adding more. Within a couple of sessions your hands find them without thinking, and the time you used to spend in menus goes back into the actual work of balancing territories. If you’d rather browse the full written reference, it’s all in the AlignMix Help Manual too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find AlignMix keyboard shortcuts?
They’re grouped by function in this guide, with a short video for each group showing the exact key combinations. The AlignMix Help Manual also lists them in written form.
Which shortcuts should I learn first?
Start with the ones you’d use every session: saving your alignment and reports, ZIP code search, the radial tool, and toggling account segments. Add the analysis shortcuts once those are second nature.
Do keyboard shortcuts really speed up territory design?
Yes. Territory design is a huge number of small actions, and shaving a second or two off each, while keeping your eyes on the map instead of the menu bar, adds up to real time and better focus over a project.
