  • “dashboard admin”: the admin dashboard will give you a big picture regarding the submissions done by the participants (new, failed, or scored);

  • “private leaderboard”: the private leaderboard will contain all information about all the submissions of all users. It will display all the different scores used for the event, on the public data (via cross-validation) and on the private data;

  • “private competition leaderboard”: the private competition leaderboard is similar to the private leaderboard. However, it contains only a single submission per user, graded on the official score used for the challenge. The score is only computed on the private set and should be used as a final challenge classification;

  • “update event”: you can change some settings linked with an event (e.g. time between two submissions, name of events, etc.).
