The Completed Forms tab will display each completed registration form.

The Add Forms tab is used to attach one or more web forms to the calendar.

Without a form attached, people can review the calendar entry but not register to attend.

You can use this type of calendar if you simply want to show people events and you don’t need them to register.

7. Switch to the second browser window.

8. Refresh the browser window.

The event is displayed on the public calendar.

You are returned to the calendar.
