The Regions screen, accessible from the main menu, enables the user to manage customer regions. The screen makes it possible to preview regions assigned to an employee, as well as attach, detach, and edit region supervisors.

The Search Regions filter available on the list of regions allows the user to filter regions by name or according to the main supervisor’s first or last name.

The following information is presented for each region:

• Region name
• Number of currently active region supervisors. It takes into account main supervisors as well as temporary ones.
• Number of subregions within a given region
• Information on the main supervisor: the employee’s full name or acronym if the full name has not been defined

If there are no supervisors for a given region, the tile of that region displays the notification “No supervisors”, this way informing the manager that it is necessary to assign one.

If there are no subregions within a given region, the tile of that region displays the notification “No subregions.”
