Use the options on this page to configure the confirmation page of a registration form.
Typically, the confirmation page is the last page of the form, shown to online registrants once they have completed the registration process.
Note that the registrant's Attendee Type is shown on the Confirmation page as the Name of that attendee type, as set up on Plan > Event Setup > Attendee Types. If that attendee type has a different value for Display for Reg Form, that is not used here. (That field is used only on the Attendee Types form section, where it's used instead of the Name.)

Adding to Calendar
Show link to add to calendar
Select this check box to include an Add to Calendar link on the Confirmation page of the form, for the attendee to add the event to their calendar (such as in Outlook).
Note: Your administrator sets the 'Add to Calendar' display options at the account level on Account Settings > Management > Add to Calendar. These determine which calendars are included, and the labels (if any) displayed with their logos: Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, etc.
Then complete the settings described next (from Link Text, to Reminder).
Link Text
Use or edit the default link text: "Add to calendar".
Calendar Icon
Click Browse to upload a custom icon from your computer, if you don't want to use the default Outlook icon.
Select a Data Field
If required, select a data field to add to the Appointment Subject or Appointment Location field, and append it to the field by clicking the Subject or Location button.
Appointment Subject
Required. Default value = the <Event Name> dynamic data field; you can replace this or add to it by selecting another field.
Appointment Location
Optional. Default value = the <Location> dynamic data field; you can replace this or add to it by selecting another field.
Appointment Body
Add data field(s) to the calendar entry by selecting from the list and clicking Append. The field is added to the Appointment Body text area, where you can also enter text directly.
Reminder Set a reminder in the calendar to which the appointment is added, by selecting the number of minutes, hours, days, or weeks in advance of the start time that the reminder should occur. Default value = None.
When a registrant clicks the Add to calendar link, or the icon, on the confirmation page, they are prompted to open or download an .ics file. The event date and time come from Plan > Event Setup > Details, taking into account the Time Zone of the event set there.
Highly recommended: test this feature before going live, to ensure that the proper date/time is added to attendees' calendars.
