Update the Maps Auto-Assignment Fields to Reassign Ownership

Julkaisupäivä: Aug 18, 2026
Kuvaus

Auto Assignment uses the Maps Assignment Rule field to automatically assign your records. If this field already has a valid territory, the Auto Assignment process skips it, since there's no need to auto-assign records over and over again to the same user. However, you may need to force Salesforce Maps to assign records again. For example, suppose one of your reps switches territories — her records will probably need to be reassigned to another rep. You can use Maps Mass Actions to ensure Maps automatically assigns the records to a new user.

Ratkaisu

This article explains how to update the Maps Assignment Rule field so Salesforce Maps reassigns records to a new owner, for example when a rep switches territories.

Prerequisites

Reassigning Records to a New Owner

Once you've created your Assignment Rule and Shape Layers, you need to select the records you want to reassign. Suppose you need to transfer all records from one user to another.

  1. Plot a Marker Layer filtered by the old owner's ID. Alternatively, if these records are in a small geographic area, you may want to filter by city, state, or zip.
  2. You should now see all of that territory's records plotted. Select all of the records using either a polygon, circle, or square selection.
  3. Right-click the shape to open the Mass Actions menu. Select Update Field.
  4. For the Query, select the Marker Layer you plotted. For the field, select Maps Assignment Rule. Ensure the Value is blank. Select Save & Close.
  5. Once the Maps Assignment Rule field is cleared for those records, you need to transfer ownership to the new owner. To complete the transfer, you can either allow the Auto Assignment batch to run on its own (every four hours), or force it to assign the records by selecting Run for the associated Auto Assignment Plan on the Salesforce Maps configuration page.
