Create 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.
Use the Process Designer to create a tracking group, assign tracking events to it, and send the tracking information to the Business Performance Data Warehouse.
