In this section we describe how to manually extract Territory Data from EAutomate for upload into PIVOT
 
Steps for E-Automate Users
 
Exporting your device data from e-Automate will require a working understanding of e-Views.  This document will guide you through the basic steps to getting your data ready for importing into PIVOT.  All screen captures were created with e-View version 8.x thru 17.x, instructions may vary slightly based on your version.***
