Use the Borrower Data screen to configure Borrower constant data. Constant data is stored information that your staff can use to ensure consistency when they initiate or respond to requests. Constant data automatically transfers repetitive data to workforms and requests. A default constant data record is created for any institution that does not have one.

Note: If you would like your default constant data record to be automatically applied to each request, turn on the Persistence Setting. See Interlibrary Loan Options for more information.
