The Admin Panel is the place within Splash where you manage all the Game Actions, Custom Actions, and Game Transactions in the system. 

Game Actions:

Game Actions are activities that are tracked by Splash for the purpose of determining if a user has completed a Challenge or Game Activity. For example, if an organization wanted to setup a Lead Generation Challenge that required users to enter 35 Leads within one week, the Game Action would be the specific "action" of creating a Lead in SugarCRM. The paramenters of Challenge like "Quantity" or the number of times the action must be taken are configured set within the Challenge when configuring the "Game Activity". For more details see the Splash Guide on "Creating Challenges, Badges, Rewards and Levels".

There are the standard Game Actions that are preconfigured by the system when the first Game is initiated. A full list of Game Actions can be seen by navigating to Admin > Game Actions. 

Custom Actions:

These Custom Actions are the custom actions you can set up if the standard actions provided don't cover your needs. Maybe you want to give points for the number of meetings held for example. Here you can see all the created actions.

Creating a Custom Action is a way users can extend the existing functionality to enable unique kinds of tracking that can be used in Challenges.
