1. Tracking Model Wizard

Note: The Tracking Model Wizard facilitates setting up a Tracker project. You can also open the PRT Item Type Configuration dialog box by clicking Advanced>Item Types in the TrackerCfg_UI left pane.

Important: When you create an item type the PRT backing files are re-created, since their configuration has been changed. Therefore, you must delete certain files called backing files in order to re-start the Tracker project or re-open the PRT_UI. If you want to retain current information you can export data before you delete the files.

1. Configure the Item Type configuration fields, as follows.

Field	Enter
Item ID	A unique name for the item type.
Description	A brief description to help users identify the item type.
Item Type Code	An integer that will identify this item type. Guideline: This code is used internally by PRT to identify the Item Type. Each item type must have a unique code, for example COMPRESS = 4 and BASE = 5. You can also apply a unique code for the same item type to identify something unique about the item, for example, BASE = 5 and a painted BASE = 6.
Item Class	Class to which this item type belongs. Reminder: Item Classes are not required but are recommended. Feel free to create one Item Class for all of your item types.
Tracking Type	Click the appropriate radio button as follows: Serialized Non-serialized
