The Donor.ini file did not exist in the previous versions of the AIT. * When AIT detects new donors, the new donors are placed at the end of the Donor LayDown Order template list. AIT will display a message asking the operator to Verify Donor LayDown Order templates. The operator needs to make sure the Donor LayDown Order is correct and save the Donor LayDown Order template.
