We know if a Business Rule is Synchronous way or Asynchronous by the type we keep,How can we know if workflow is Synchronous way or Asynchronous ?

Hi  Krishna,

As we consider timer activity, Every script execution after implementing a workflow timer is run by system user and is also run in the background on the system scheduler. This allows Business Rules, Script-Includes and Workflow Scripts to run asynchronously, which allows for better system performance

Kindly mark it correct and helpful if it is applicable.
