Displaying Territories on Accounts

To enable users to view all territories and assigned users for a given account in a table format, add the View_User_Territory_vod custom link to the appropriate Account or PersonAccount page layouts. This link references the User_Territory_vod Visualforce page. The Visualforce page generates the display of users, territories, and territory descriptions assigned to a given account.
