Start a territory design from scratch and AlignMix names things for you: Sales Territory 1, Sales Territory 2, Sales Territory 3. If that works for you, leave it. But most teams have their own naming, by region, by rep, by number scheme, and getting the names right early saves confusion in every report and conversation that follows.
Renaming Your Territories
You can rename any territory to whatever your organization uses. Swap “Sales Territory 4” for “Chicago North,” “T-104,” or a rep’s name, and the label updates across the map, the legend, and your exports. Do it once, early, and every downstream artifact inherits the clean names.

A Few Naming Habits Worth Keeping
Name for geography or scheme, not people, where you can, because “Southeast 3” survives a rep change and “Dave’s territory” doesn’t. Keep names consistent in length and style, since a mix of “T-101” and “Chicago North Suburbs” makes tables and legends awkward. And if your names already live in a spreadsheet, don’t retype them, import them: add a territory-name column to your import file and they come in with the assignments. Getting names right up front is worth it, because they flow into your exports and, from there, into your CRM and comp reports.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I rename a territory in AlignMix?
Select the territory and edit its name to whatever you use in-house. The change applies across the map, legend, and exports.
Can I import my own territory names?
Yes. Include a territory-name column in your import file and AlignMix uses your names instead of the default Sales Territory 1, 2, 3.
Do renamed territories keep their names after a realignment?
Yes. Names stay attached to the territory through boundary changes, so a realignment doesn’t reset them.
