Region Automation: Portamento Time
One of the many MIDI messages that can be automated. Creating an automation point adds an event with the control change message. Portamento Time is a required feature of the General MIDI GM2 specification.
From the MIDI specification (1996)
Portamento Control (PTC) is a recent addition, and defines a continuous controller that communicates which note number the subsequent note is gliding from. It is intended for special effects in playing back pre-sequenced material, so that legato with portamento may be realized while in Poly mode.

Create 1 Track Automation Point each for Volume, Pan, Sends
Set up automation points for a “typical” set of parameters.
Add and adjust automation points in Logic Pro — Apple Support
To create changes over time to volume, pan, and effects settings, you add automation points to a track’s automation curve at different places, and then adjust the automation points so the value of the setting changes. You can adjust automation points by moving them up or down to a new value or by moving them left or right to a new point in the timeline. Numerical values are displayed alongside each automation point. You can also raise or lower the value of MIDI parameters associated with notes in instrument tracks or Drummer tracks. Note and numerical values are displayed alongside each MIDI data point. You can also add automation points at selection area or region borders.

Autoselect Automation Parameter in Read Mode
New in LPX10.5. It looks like the only “easy” way to find information about Logic is to open the Help Viewer and search from there. Eventually I can find a link to the spot in the support documentation.
Show automation curves in Logic Pro — Apple Support
You can automatically show the automation curve of any parameter you click in a channel strip, plug-in editor, or track header on the main automation lane.
A copy/paste of the help information produces useless links to the Logic support site.
