Requests submitted to Automation are available in the Automation Produced queue.
    • If the automation is set to Build Lender String or Send Request to Lenders, lenders in each Custom Holdings Group in the automation's specified Custom Holdings Path are sorted by turnaround time before being added to the lender string.

See Automated Request Manager for more information.

Data in a field of a constant data record will always overwrite the value shown in the request; however, pre-existing patron data will not be overwritten.
