Most Business Analyst Server analyses need you to assign customers contained in the customer datasets either to stores or to trade areas. In most cases, you may find it more useful to assign customers to trade areas instead of, to particular stores. This task assigns customers to stores by using existing trade areas.

The result of this task is a ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.BACore.TaskResultOutput object, which is compatible with ArcGIS Server's mapping APIs. FeatureSet and MapImage objects can be returned depending on the task output options requested. Additionally, the output analysis layer can be stored to the Business Analyst Server repository.
