SuiteFlow Adds Scheduled Workflow Execution Logs

What changed

NetSuite 2026.1 adds a Scheduled Log subtab to the Workflow Definition page. This log exposes runtime details for scheduled workflows that were previously only available through indirect means (script execution logs, system notes, or manual record queries).

The subtab displays:

• Status — whether each scheduled workflow instance completed, failed, or is still running.
• Start / completion timestamps — when each execution began and finished.
• Records processed — the count of records touched by each run.

This is a UI-only enhancement on the Workflow Definition record. Oracle's notes do not mention any new SuiteScript API surfaces, REST endpoints, or SuiteAnalytics datasets exposed alongside this log. It is unclear whether the log data is queryable via N/query or N/search, or whether it is strictly rendered in the UI.

What to do

1. Navigate to Customization > Workflow > Workflows, open any workflow that uses a scheduled trigger, and look for the new Scheduled Log subtab.
2. If you currently rely on custom scripting (e.g., a N/log-based wrapper or a saved search on system notes) to monitor scheduled workflow execution, evaluate whether this built-in log provides sufficient detail to retire that custom solution.
3. Verify whether the log data is accessible programmatically. Try querying the workflow record type or related internal IDs via N/search or N/query to determine if Oracle has exposed the underlying data — the release notes are silent on this point.
4. For workflows processing large record sets on a schedule, use the new log to baseline execution times and record throughput before and after any workflow modifications.
