Following are the two free, intersecting shapes A, and B drawn by him. Joey wants to check the records falling exclusively within shape B. Hence, to remove the area of intersection, Joey uses the difference operation. Thus, the exclusive part of shape B gets highlighted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/microsoft-dynamics-365-sales-territory-1.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20108 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 1px; margin: 1px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/microsoft-dynamics-365-sales-territory-1.png\" alt=\"microsoft dynamics 365 sales territory\" width=\"1280\" height=\"590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/microsoft-dynamics-365-sales-territory-1.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/microsoft-dynamics-365-sales-territory-1-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/microsoft-dynamics-365-sales-territory-1-1024x472.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.maplytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/microsoft-dynamics-365-sales-territory-1-768x354.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Intersection<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This highlights the shape(s) where the selected shape and other shapes overlap.
