The workflows for Geocoding and Territory Assignment designed can be used on a day-to-day basis for addresses that are changed or added occasionally. However, for bulk geocoding/territory assignment on data, we recommend using the Batch Processing tool. This tool ensures that the bulk geocoding on records is handled in single batch. While in the territory assignment, this tool helps to assign the respective territories to all the selected records based on their Latitude and Longitude values.
To run this tool, the user needs to make sure that machine has Microsoft .net framework 4.0 and Maplytics installed in Dynamics CRM.
To run the tool, Extract the Batch Processing tool .zip file and run the BatchProcessingTool application.
