Example #1

Create a workflow rule that will update the external user flag to false in case the user's email is one of the following domains: acme.co.us, acme.org, acme.com, acme.co.uk, etc. This will automatically set the 'external user; flag to FALSE, in case the email domain includes anything with acme.

Not(In($Email,"@acme."))

Example #2

Automatically set a user's default availability for new projects based on their job title. For example, if the user is a developer, DBA or QA engineer, they should only spend 70% of time on project related activities (as the remaining 30% is spent on maintenance work). Create a workflow that will update the 'Default Project Availability' field as follows:

If(In($JobTitle.Name, "Developer", "DBA","QA Engineer"), 70,100)

Tips To set standard field values based on formulas, create workflow rules
