insanedukeposse assignment rules for custom objects?
Is there such a thing as "assignment rules" for custom objects?
I have a custom object that requires an assignment rule no differently than a lead or case would. As far as I know, custom objects do not have assignment rules. The interesting thing is that in the system log it LOOKS like the platform is aware that there could be assignment rules for every oject, they just haven't been exposed. The first thing that starts evaluating in the log below is the workflow rule.
Why would an assignment rule be preferable in this case? Assignment rules stop evaluating after the first rule is found to evaluate to true. In workflow rules, you can have rules that step all over each (unless you are very, very careful, or somebody know how to stop the evaluation of a rules after one hits)
