Introduction
A form is a Web page that collects information from prospects or attendees. An event may have one or more forms that enable potential attendees to register online. The Forms List page lists all the forms for the current event. The Forms List page lists the dates that online registration opens and closes for each form. The Forms List page lists the status (testing, active, closed) of each form. The list may be a multi-page list. If there is more than one form in the event, one form is marked as being the Primary form.
