Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Queued or running workflows accumulate when priorities change faster than cleanup happens.
- Keeps workflow queues focused on current docs work.
- Reduces manual cleanup after changing priorities.
- Makes recurring maintenance predictable.
