## Three Methods for Enabling an Affiliate

There are three methods for enabling an Affiliate to Programs in NATS; Creating a program, the program overview, and the affiliate overview.

### Creating a Program

On the "Add New Program" page, selecting "Automatic Enrollment" will ensure all new affiliates are enabled for newly created Programs.
