What must be done to ensure scheduled transitions are activated correctly?

Ensuring that the release status is properly set is critical for activating scheduled transitions in a workflow. In NetSuite workflows, the release status determines whether a workflow is available for use or is still in a development phase. A workflow that is not set to "Released" will not execute scheduled transitions or any other defined actions.

By ensuring the release status of the workflow is appropriate, you are making certain that the system can recognize and activate all scheduled transitions as intended. This setting essentially allows the workflow to be operational and accessible within your NetSuite environment, so actions like scheduled transitions can take place at the defined times.

The other choices play important roles in different aspects of workflow management, but they do not specifically ensure the activation of scheduled transitions. User permissions affect who can access or modify the workflow, while defining the transitions and assigning a time zone are also important for the workflow's functionality, but neither directly influences whether the scheduled transitions themselves can be activated without the release status being correctly set.
