Step Three in: Four Steps to make a Tracker
| Step | Details | Help Page |
| 1. Create the Tracker | Admin names the tracker, and assign overall parameters and permissions | Creating a Tracker |
| 2. Add fields to the Tracker | Admin defines the columns and type of information collected | Adding fields to a tracker |
| 3. Add items to the tracker | Users fill out the forms to create items in the tracker | Adding items to a tracker |
| 4. View or List the results | Use plugins to view a customized tracker output in a page | Viewing Tracker Results |
| 5. Assign Trackers to Groups | optional - trackers can also be used upon registration | Assigning Trackers to groups |
Items can be inserted into a tracker either directly from the visualization of the tracker (tiki-view_tracker.php?trackerId=N), being N the identification number of the tracker (trackerId)

or from a Wiki page where PluginTracker has been included with appropriate syntax

Keep in mind that fields with an asterisk on their right hand side are compulsory.

This means that, if they are not filled, or they don't contain the proper data type (depending on how the tracker has been configured), when you want to insert the item in the tracker a message will appear showing which fields are missing to be properly completed, in order to submit your item to the tracker successfully.
