Technical Information

The columns rgs_qty and rqs_cancel_qty were added to ev_registrant_session for this functionality. These columns can be used to get the quantity registered and canceled for a session regardless of whether or not the session has a fee.

In the ev_registrant table, the column reg_complimentary_event_registered_flag is used to track whether a complementary registrant is registered for the main event or is just registered for sessions. If they are registered for the main event, the field will be set to 1; if they are not registered, it will be set to 0. Registrations that charge fees are still calculated based on the invoice detail.
