<\/span>Expanding Odd \/ Even Assignment<\/span><\/h4>\nThis rule can be expanded further by having multiple fields in the rule criteria. We can also have a custom checkbox “Assign using an active workflow rule” if you want users to manually select a checkbox on record to assign. Make sure you uncheck the checkbox as a workflow action. You can also expand this to assign to more than two persons – however you will need to create as many workflows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Have you encountered the requirement where you want to assign all Even numbered records to one person and all Odd records to another? Here is a simple solution using the workflow rules that can help. You can use this on custom objects or even on objects that do not have Assignment rules. The requirement can also mean assigning the alternate records to two persons. This is similar to Round Robin assignment to two persons using workflow rules.<\/p>\n
