What does a SuiteFlow release status of 'not running' indicate?

The indication that a SuiteFlow release status is 'not running' means that the workflow will not execute for new records. This status suggests that the workflow is effectively paused and is not available to be triggered by events or actions in the system. The flow may be in a situation where it has been either disabled temporarily for maintenance or debugging, or it has been set up but not yet activated for use.

This status is essential for administrators to understand, particularly during the development or testing phases of workflows, as it allows them to make changes or assess the workflow design without affecting live operations. In contrast to other statuses, such as 'running' or 'completed,' 'not running' clearly indicates a state where the workflow is inactive for new triggers.
