When you test a notice using ILS data, the system pulls information from the ILS based on the patron IDs and item IDs you provide. The retrieved values are then inserted into the notice by replacing the corresponding merge tags.
The merge tags populated automatically when ILS data is used are listed in the following tables for Polaris and Sierra, respectively.
