(Note //__click here__// to view other conference fee rule examples,

and //__click here__// for help on Fee Rules) || The **UPDATE CONFERENCE FEE STRUCTURE** section is one of the most critical, and complex areas of MCIS, and it is very important that this be setup correctly.

To calculate an attendee’s total fee, MCIS processes each of the rules listed in the order in which they are displayed. Each rule has a condition, either a simple or compound IF statement. IF that condition is true, then the RegFee rule attached is executed ||
 * The RegFee rule can be to ADD to the total fee, to SUBTRACT from the total fee (e.g. discounts), or to BECOME the new total fee (e.g. speakers – free registration)

The rules also determine what the receipt looks like (the explanations are printed on it) ||
 * [[image:http://help4mcis.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/placeholder?w=330&h=233 width="330" height="233"]] || When **ADDING a RULE**, the first Compare Field and Comparison must be selected, the second compare field is optional.

Amount of Calculation must have a number (even if it’s just 0)

Explanation is what is displayed on fee receipt. || (scroll to the bottom .. surprise!!)

The first four fields are contact info important for the Confirmation screen – gives the name and address of where to send the cheque.

Number of Waiting Days appears on notices – but does NOT actually automatically delete registrations or session selections ||
 * If you are enabling online VISA / Mastercard payments, fill in the IATS agent code and password your chapter has been given by IATS (see the Executive Directors for details on obtaining an IATS account if you do not have one). Also important with regard to online payment is to choose a unique 8 character code that will be displayed on credit card bills.

Refund policy can be any text that you wish to appear at the bottom of the page, and should include details of when the cutoff date is, and how much will be returned.

Earlybird Date must be completed, even if not being referred to by Fee Rules. //(If no earlybird rule applies, make the date before registration begins, thereby eliminating it as a possibility from all attendees)//

Always click **UPDATE** to save changes ||
