What is a Workflow Rule?

A workflow rule has this simple format:

if ( condition ) then

     action

The condition can test:

    If a user belongs to a specific group

    If a specific choice was selected from a choice list.

Multiple conditions can be joined with a logical AND. The only test operator available is the equal to operator (=).

If the rule is a possible values rule, the action can specify the possible values for one or more choice lists. If the rule is a dependent values rule, the action can select choices from one or more choice lists.
