Email to a Friend Button

Concept

The Email to a Friend button allows online visitors to easily share a particular record with others. The visitor on your site can share the record along with a personalized message. This information is emailed so the recipient can view that specific record as well as explore the rest of your site. This is a great way of having users help promote your site.

The Email to a Friend button is displayed in the upper right corner of each record detail page. A checkbox setting in the Interface Management Site determines if this feature is available or hidden.
