* For convenience, it's best to operate on the site with two browser tabs, one or viewing after latest changes (i.e. refreshing the page) and a second for the editing.

 You'll need a visual form builder form to add registration details to the page. The best way to do this is probably using the "duplicate" function and using a previous form. You'll need to edit minor details in here but it's fairly obvious. Make sure you check all of the drop downs.
