2. Select a variable those state will be tracked.

3. Select a tracked field of the above variable.

4. At this point, new Tracker will be created.

5. Edit properties of the newly created tracker, e.g. add some statuses.

(Default Action)

This action is used for creating new trackers. It allows the user to specify the basic properties of a new tracker and configure it immediately after creation.

This action creates a new tracker that tracks the value of a variable.

If variable has more than one field, user is prompted to select which field will be displayed by the tracker.

If the variable belongs to a Device Context (e.g. it is a Device setting), the user is prompted to create an Offline status for the newly created tracker. Tracker in Offline state is indicated by gray color (this is a default color -- it may be changed). This state is activated when the Device is disconnected from the server.
