Scheduled Workflow - Just how is this supposed to work?

edited Dec 13, 2019 11:41PM in General 2 comments

First of all, NetSuite should open up a forum category for Workflow Manager and assign a knowledgable person to monitor these threads.  If you want feedback and to get people using it we need a way to get answers quickly.

OK, so I have a scheduled workflow and I see the following in the Workflow History:


Claim Submission Status Updater     Scheduled Entry     5/6/2010 8:02 am     5/6/2010 11:14 am           
Claim Submission Status Updater     Scheduled Entry     5/6/2010 7:02 am     5/6/2010 7:47 am


Why is it staying in a State for 3+ hours?  When the Workflow runs as a User Event triggered workflow it completes in less than 1 minute:
