This operator works best on pick-list and text type fields.
To get started, create a list of values you want to check for in your desired field. For example, if you want to see if the Accounts's Billing Country is in North America for an account distribution, you could set up criteria using the "Is In" operator as below:
Select BillingCountry as the Account Field
Select the Is In operator
Enter each country name separated by a comma
This operator can also be used to be sure that a field on the account does not equal a set of values by adding custom logic.
For example, you might want to go a step further from the example above and make sure that accounts are in North America and the account source is not "Partner" or "Event."
The steps to accomplish this are as follows:
Select AccountSource in the Account Field
Select the Is In operator
Enter "Partner" and "Event" separated by a comma (e.g. Partner, Event)
Add custom Logic by clicking the dropdown under "Distribution Criteria" and select "Custom Condition Logic Is Met".
Enter logic so that Condition 1 is met and Condition 2 is not met: 1 AND NOT(2)
Now you have 2 Conditions:
Condition 1 looks to see if the Billing Country is United States, Canada, or Mexico
Condition 2 looks to see if the Account Source is Partner or Event.
By adding custom logic, you have created criteria where Billing Country must be United States, Canada, or Mexico AND Account Source must NOT be either Partner or Event.
