Hi Stacey,
The basic difference between Automated and Semiautomated Control is -
1. In Automated Control issue is created and in Submitted Status. Here you can assign a remediation plan for the issue and also other activities like reassigning the issue.
2. In Semiautomated Control the issue will be in draft status and remediation plan cannot be assigned. Here the issue should be submitted. Here the issue recieved by the tester to check and confirm it is issue else he can void it.
In Configuration it is not possible to separate the task between automated and semi automated.
The differentation happens in the code and sends for testing or for remediation depending upon whether control is automated or semi automated.
I hope I am able to explain you the difference.
