There are two types of discount plans:
- Level Discount Plans

2) Event Discount Plan: By selecting the Event Discount Plan, the discount plans created for events will be active and the discount plans created for the levels will be inactive. The discount coupon (Discount % + Fixed Discount) will be calculated for the entire event amount.
Either Level Discount Plan or Event Discount Plan will be in activation. There can be any number of discount plans in either Level or Event Discount Plans.

Level Total: If Level Total is selected, then the discount will apply for all the attendees registered in that level.
