When the Source field of the Instance's is MARC, then most of the Instance's fields are controlled by the underlying MARC Bibliographic record, which is stored in Source Record Storage (SRS). The MARC Bib can be viewed from the Instance by selecting Actions/View source.
MARC mappings are used to make equivalencies between MARC information and applicable FOLIO Instance and Holdings fields.
