Interface Management Site - Enabling and Customizing the Email A Friend Form

Concept

The Email A Friend form is a simple tool that allows online visitors to share records from your collection with others. Enabling and customizing the Email A Friend Form can all be done through the Interface Management Site. You may either use the default messages or you can customize the messages for your organization. Using HTML can help format the message for better viewing in some browsers and email clients.
