# Prize schedules, prize pools and other prize add-ons

Give out prizes in periods, refill them daily, share stock between prizes, copy prizes and decide what counts as a win.

The prize add-ons on a prize's **Settings** tab give you control over when and how prizes are won. Some only appear after the prize has been saved.

## Schedules

**Active period**, **Reset amount**, **Increase win chance** and **Decrease win chance** all use schedules. Click **Add period** and choose the **Type**:

- **Daily**, **Weekly** or **Monthly**, at a **Time of day**. For monthly, choose the **Day in month (1-28)** or **Last day in month**.
- **At interval**: every so many hours.
- **On campaign day**: for example day 5 of the campaign.
- **On campaign start**, **On campaign end** or **On campaign last day**.
- **On date**: a date you choose.

With **End after period**, the change only lasts a number of days or hours.

Schedules are checked every hour, so a change can take up to an hour to apply.

Examples:

- **Reset amount** daily at 09:00, so 20 new prizes can be won every morning.
- **Increase win chance** in the last two days, so all prizes are given out.
- **Active period** on campaign day 3, for a prize behind door 3 of a calendar.

## Prize pools

A prize pool is a shared stock that several prizes draw from. Use it when, for example, five different consolation prizes together have 100 items in stock.

1. On the prize's **Settings** tab, turn on **Prize pool**.
2. Under **Prize pool** on the **Prize** tab, choose a pool or click **+ Create new**, and give the pool a **Name** and **Quantity**.

The pool's quantity replaces the prize's own quantity.

## Copy a prize from another campaign

When you add a prize, choose **Copy from existing**, search for the prize and click **Select**. Its settings are copied into this campaign.

## Custom finish event

By default, every prize counts as a win. With **Custom finish event**, you can set the **Event** to **Lose** (for example for a "Try again tomorrow" prize) or **None**. This changes which page and animations are shown, and how the play is counted.

## Disable a prize

Turn on **Disable prize** to stop a prize from being won, without deleting it. Its history and winners are kept.
