The Regions screen, accessible from the main menu, enables you 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 you to filter regions by name or according to the main supervisor’s first or last name.
The following information is presented for each region:

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.”
