The Employee Referral page is used to set up the screens and workflow which employees will use when referring potential applicants. This page is not an option for applicants.

Field		Purpose / Notes
General
	Enabled	Set this field to Yes to activate the page in the Self Service module. The employee will have a page where they can submit referrals (based on the next two settings) and to see who has been submitted.
	Allow referrals to specific positions	Set this field to Yes to allow employees to select a specific job when doing the referral. On the Job Browsing page in the Self Service module, another link will display to employees allowing him/her to select the requisition and submit the referral.
	Allow referrals WITHOUT requiring a position	Set this field to Yes to allow employees to submit a referral without selecting a requisition. On the Employee Referral page in the Self Service module, the page will allow employee submit the referral and will not force the selection of a currently open position.

This note is moved over to the Applicant's record if/when an applicant file is created from the referral record.
