Workflow Rules in Salesforce

Workflow Rules in Salesforce:

(1) In this blog we will learn how to apply workflow rules in the salesforce to automate the process. In this example, we have applied workflow rules on the Picklist field named Day Category as shown below.

If the Total Earthquake Cases is less than 10,000, then the day category field automatically selects the Green option, if greater than 10,000 but less than 50,000 then the day category field automatically selects the Yellow option, if greater than 50,000 then the day category field automatically selects the Red option.

(2) On the Salesforce setup page, go to the Quick Find box and search for Workflow Rules and click on it as shown below.
