Step 4:

  1. Name of Referral (Appear in CARMIS as): The text that will appear for the "Refer To" option
  2. Scope: Internal
  3. Active: Selecting 'Yes' or 'No' will change if the referral is active.
  4. Available in Program: If you want this referral to appear only when a specific program is selected, choose the corresponding program from the list. If you leave it blank, the referral will be visible throughout the entire system.

Referring Scope: Internal (within your agency) and External (outside of your agency)

Adding Internal Team as A Referral:

  1. Refer to CARMIS User: Selecting a user within your agency will receive the referral. If you have a user that does not have a CARMIS license then use the 'Send to Other Emails' field.
  2. Send to Other Emails: If you have a user that does not have a CARMIS license you can add their email here, separated by a ';'.
  3. Refer to Program: A program must be specified for an internal referral.
  4. For an Activity (Optional): For a program a activity can optionally be specified. The purpose is to help track whether specific referral for  an activity was addressed by the team (aka. client received a service / registered in the group).
