Territories can be setup for the Accounts, Contacts and Deals modules. When territory management is enabled, these records will have a new field named Territories. Also, there will be a list view for territories in the Home page of these modules to filter and view records that belong to a selected territory.

Is it possible to set up data sharing rules based on certain conditions in the fields within a module? I would like to set up a condition based on the country field and apply certain sharing rules when the country is Canada, for instance. Is this possible?

You can apply Territory Management to the Accounts, Contacts and Deals modules and set up these dynamic data sharing rules.
