    Hi Kar,

    The workflow execution time is based on the trigger you establish, so if you trigger the workflow when the record is created, the execution time will be shortly thereafter.  However, you can change when the action is taken.  So, you can wait until after a certain number of days, weeks, or months after the execution time to take the action.  For example, if can have workflow wait  to send an Email 3 days after the workflow execution time.

    Here are some other post that discusses how to do a waiting workflow using the timeout feature.
