Life Sciences Territory Configure

Life Sciences Territory Setup

Creates and activates a Territory Type, Territory Model, and a 3-level Territory hierarchy for Life Sciences Cloud using the sf CLI.

Scope

• In scope: Creating territory type, territory model, and territories; activating the territory model
• Out of scope: Assigning users to territories, creating territory assignment rules, validating prerequisites

Off-topic requests

If the user asks for something unrelated to this skill (either at the start or mid-execution), do not attempt it. Tell the user you did not understand the request, then show what you can help with: setting up Life Sciences Cloud territories (this skill), and — if relevant — point them to life-sciences-prerequisites-validate for prerequisite checks or life-sciences-fieldsalesrep-coordinate for the full end-to-end setup. Then stop and wait.

Required Inputs

Gather before proceeding:

• Target org: The org alias or username to deploy to (from sf config get target-org or user-specified)

Workflow

Phase 1 — Present Default Names and Get Confirmation

1. Show the user the default names that will be used for the territory components. Read references/territory-metadata.md for the exact XML templates and default names.

Present the names in a table:

| Component | Default Name |
|-----------|-------------|
| Territory Type | Geographical |
| Territory Model | LSC Territory Model |
| Territory (Level 1 - Region) | RD - West 20D |
| Territory (Level 2 - District) | DM - San Francisco 20D02 |
| Territory (Level 3 - Territory) | TM - SPC - San Francisco North 20D02T11 |

2. Ask the user if they are fine with these names or want to change any of them. Ask for each component individually:

   • "Are you fine with the Territory Type name 'Geographical' or would you like to change it?"
   • "Are you fine with the Territory Model name 'LSC Territory Model' or would you like to change it?"
   • "Are you fine with the Region territory name 'RD - West 20D' or would you like to change it?"
   • "Are you fine with the District territory name 'DM - San Francisco 20D02' or would you like to change it?"
   • "Are you fine with the Territory name 'TM - SPC - San Francisco North 20D02T11' or would you like to change it?"

3. If the user wants to change a name, ask them for the new name they'd like to use. Record the updated name.

Phase 2 — Preview and Confirm

4. Display a complete preview of what will be created, showing the final XML for each component with the confirmed names. Use the templates from references/territory-metadata.md and substitute any user-provided names.

Show the preview in this format:

=== Territory Type ===
Name: <confirmed name>
Priority: 1

=== Territory Model ===
Name: <confirmed model name>

=== Territory Hierarchy ===
Level 1 (Region): <confirmed region name>
  └── Level 2 (District): <confirmed district name>
        └── Level 3 (Territory): <confirmed territory name>

Access Levels (all territories):
- Account: Read
- Contact: Edit
- Case: None
- Opportunity: None

5. Ask for final confirmation: "Ready to create and deploy these territory components? (yes/no)"

If user says no, go back to Phase 1.

Phase 3 — Create and Deploy

6. Create a temporary SFDX project structure for deployment. Read references/territory-metadata.md for the exact file structure and XML content.

The directory structure must be:

territory-deploy/
├── sfdx-project.json
└── force-app/
    └── main/
        └── default/
            └── territory2Models/
                ├── <ModelApiName>.territory2Model-meta.xml
                └── <ModelApiName>/
                    ├── territory2Types/
                    │   └── <TypeApiName>.territory2Type-meta.xml
                    └── territories/
                        ├── <Level1ApiName>.territory2-meta.xml
                        ├── <Level2ApiName>.territory2-meta.xml
                        └── <Level3ApiName>.territory2-meta.xml

7. Generate API names from user-confirmed display names:

   • Remove special characters, spaces, and hyphens
   • Use PascalCase for the API name
   • Territory type API name is derived from the type display name
   • Territory model API name is derived from the model display name (remove spaces)
   • Territory API names are derived from territory display names (remove spaces, hyphens, special chars)

8. Write the metadata files using the templates from references/territory-metadata.md with confirmed names.

9. Deploy the metadata using:

   sf project deploy start --source-dir territory-deploy/force-app --target-org <org>
   

10. Check deployment status — if it fails, show the error and suggest remediation.

    STOP-GATE (component count). The single deploy package must land the complete hierarchy: 1 Territory2Type + 1 Territory2Model + 3 Territory2 records (one Region, one District, one Territory). Confirm the deploy result reports 0 component failures AND verify the territories exist before activating:

    sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT(Id) c FROM Territory2 WHERE Territory2Model.DeveloperName = '<ModelApiName>'" --target-org <org> --json
    

    The count MUST be 3. A parent-reference failure (e.g. the District deploying before its Region) can land a partial hierarchy — a Level-3 territory with no path to its Region silently breaks downstream user/visit territory assignment. Do NOT activate the model (Phase 4) until all 3 territories are present with 0 deploy failures.

Phase 4 — Activate Territory Model

11. Report that the model deployed in Planning state and ask the user if they want to activate it. Include this warning:

    Note: Once a Territory Model is activated, it can be deactivated but cannot be deleted. Do you want to proceed with activation?

12. If the user confirms activation, activate the model by querying its record ID then updating its State to 'Activating' (not 'Active' — the platform transitions asynchronously from Activating → Active):

    # Query the model ID and current state
    sf data query --query "SELECT Id, State FROM Territory2Model WHERE DeveloperName = '<ModelApiName>' LIMIT 1" --target-org <org> --json
    

    If the model is in Planning state, update it:

    sf data update record --sobject Territory2Model --record-id <ModelId> --values "State='Activating'" --target-org <org>
    

    See references/territory-metadata.md for the full activation logic including error handling.

13. Verify activation — the platform transitions asynchronously from Activating → Active. Query to confirm:

    sf data query --query "SELECT Id, DeveloperName, State FROM Territory2Model WHERE DeveloperName='<ModelApiName>'" --target-org <org>
    

    If still Activating, wait a moment and query again until it reaches Active.

14. If the user declines activation, report that the model is in Planning state and can be activated later from Setup.

15. Report success — confirm to the user that all components are created, and report the model's current state (Planning, Activating, or Active).
