The **Track what's important to you** section of the Admin Home page provides insights into key information, such as open incidents, open requests, etc. This information is available on a default shared dashboard. You can click on each card to view more information.

**Note:** You can’t add or remove any cards from the Shared admin dashboard. Instead, to modify the cards, you must first create a new dashboard by selecting **Create new** dashboard. Then, modify the new dashboard as needed and share it with other administrators using the **Share** option.
