Fulfilling Requests
Which Fulfillment Method Should I Choose?
- Stored File: If you'd like to automate the process as much as possible then you will want to store a file on the title record so that future requests for that title can be auto-fulfilled.
- FTP: This allows you to store a file on a single request record for up to 45 days and then it is auto-deleted.
- Publisher FTP: You provide a link to your own ftp site on the ATN request record.
- Email: You send a separate email to the Authorized User providing them instructions for how to get the file.
