Creating a tracking group

Create and use a tracking group to track process variables across multiple business process definitions 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 the Process Designer desktop editor.
2. Open a process application in the Designer view.
3. Click the plus sign next to the Performance category in the library, and then click Tracking Group from the list of components.
4. 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.
5. Click Finish. The Tracking Group window opens in Process Designer.
6. 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. The new field is added with the default name UntitledNumber (string).
   2. In the Tracked Field Details panel, specify the name and type for the process variable. You can also include documentation.
   3. When prompted, save the changes.
   Attention: A tracking group can have a maximum of 50 fields for each of the data types String, Number, and Date/Time.
7. Open the business process definition and add one or more tracking events to the diagram.
8. For each tracking event, select it and open the Implementation tab.
9. Add the process variables that you want to associate with each tracked field.
10. Save the business process definition.
11. To send the new tracking information to the Business Performance Data Warehouse, click File > Update Tracking Definitions .
