Set Balance Variables (Territory Design)—ArcGIS Pro

Available with Business Analyst license.

Summary

Configures variables to be used in the balancing process.

The variables will be used according to relative weight, which is calculated based on a specified preference for each variable.
Preference refers to the relative weight of each variable.
Preferences from all of the variables should total 100 percent.
Use the Add Level Variable tool to add variables to be balanced.
Set the preference to zero if you do not want to disable the variable to be used for balancing.

SetBalanceVariables example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the SetBalanceVariables tool.

import arcpy
arcpy.td.SetBalanceVariables("TerritorySolution", "Territories[1]", "HouseHold 50;TotalPop 50")

This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments.
