Using Trackers

In Tiki, trackers are a way to collect, store, and organize data. You might think of trackers as a mini database or spreadsheet that runs inside your Tiki site. The Bug and Wishlist system used on the Tiki Developer website is a tracker.

Trackers are also especially useful for creating forms that your site's visitors can complete. By using trackers, Tiki will create the necessary HTML form elements and record the results.

To use trackers, you must first enable the Trackers feature. To enable Trackers:

1. Enable the Trackers feature on the Main tab of the Administration: Features page.
   
2. From the Administration page, click the
   Trackers button.
   

    Tip

   You can also access the Administration: Trackers page by typing http://www.yourdomain.com/tiki-admin.php?page=trackers in your web browser.
   
   The Administration: Trackers page contains the options that apply to all trackers on your Tiki. Later you will customize the options that are specific to each tracker.
3. You can review the settings on the Settings, Plugins and Field Types tabs. For now, you can leave the options as their defaults.

Let's create a new tracker.
