Creating a tracking group

Create and use a tracking group to track process variables across multiple processes and process applications, or to store tracking points for a timing interval. Use tracking groups when you want to explicitly control your tracked data and tracking points for more advanced custom reports.

1. Open a process application in the Process Designer.
2. Click the plus sign next to the Performance category in the library, and then click Tracking Group from the list of components.
3. In the New Tracking Group window, enter a name for the tracking group. Ensure that there is no other tracking group with the same name.
4. Click Finish. The Tracking Group window opens in Process Designer.
5. For each process variable you want to track, add a field to the tracking group.
   1. Click Add in the Tracked Fields panel to add the field. A new field is added with a String data type.
   2. In the Tracked Field Details panel, specify the name and type for the process variable. You can also include documentation. A tracking group can have a maximum of 50 fields for each of the simple data types that you can use: String, Number, and Date/Time.
6. Click Save or Finish Editing.
7. To apply your tracking group to a process, see Associating process variables to a tracking group.
