¡Los rastreadores son muy guays!¡Ayúdanos aquí y mejóralos!

-=Documentación para el/la usuario=-
Los rastreadores son una herramienta potente y flexible para la recopilación de información sobre una colección de datos y que puede ser empleada en el Tiki para usos varios. Cada dato representa un conjunto de campos, y  puedes disponerlo de forma que especifiques qué campos utilizará cada rastreador. 

Una vez creados puedes añadir datos, listas de datos, puedes modificar estos datos, eliminarlos, asignarles adjuntos o comentar los datos si dispones de permiso. 

Los rastreadores se pueden utillizar para:
*Rastrear gazapos 
*Caracterizar peticiones en tu sitio web 
*Apoyar peticiones 
*Compra de comandas 
*Noticias
*Gestión doméstica
*Otros flujos de trabajo 
*Etc. 

!Creando rastreadores

Un rastreador es creado desde el enlace admin rastreadores en la sección de rastreadores del menú de solicitud. Pronto habrá una forma de subir y bajar archivos de texto para parsing que mejorarám sustancialmente la velocidad de creación de rastreadores.

The following screen is used to create a tracker:

!Añadiendo campos al rastreador

Para habilitar un rastreador necesitas añadir algunos campos al rastreador. Hay un campo que siempre se añade: el estatus que se emplea para comprobar si los datos del rastreador están abiertos o cerrados. To make a tracker usable you need to add some fields to the tracker. 

Para admin campos haz click en el enlace de los campos de la lista de rastreadores en la pantalla de admin rastreadores.

{img src=http://tikiwiki.org/img/wiki_up/tikiwiki.org//EditTrackerFields.jpg width= height= align= desc=}

Para añadir un campo indica el nombre, el tipo y las opciones (si corresponde).

Puedes utilizar los siguientes tipos de campos:

*Checkbox (on/off fields) ... there should should be radio buttons
*Campos numéricos
*Campos de texto
*Input area de texto
*Drop down combo (enter options separated by commas)
*User (selectable user from the list of site's users)
*Group (selectable group from the list of site's groups)
*Date/time field
*Jscalendar
*Image
*Action
*Header
*Category (as of 29mar4 doesn't work)
*Item link
*Items list

As you can see from above the list of field options is very impressive! If your clients need a quick and easy interface for a database then give us a hand with the trackers! They are very powerful already but need some finishing touches.(:wink:)
One of the fields in the tracker must be the "main" field, the main field will be used as a link to the item details when listing trackers. You shoudl also indicate if the field is visible or not when listing tracker items. If a tracker has a lot of fields you shouldn't make all the fields visible from the item listing.

Example:

!Using a tracker

You can see a list of trackers by clicking 'trackers' from the application menu.

{img src=http://tikiwiki.org/img/wiki_up/tikiwiki.org//Trackers.jpg width= height= align= desc=}

Clicking on a tracker name will take you to the list of tracker items.

{img src=http://tikiwiki.org/img/wiki_up/tikiwiki.org//ListofTrackerItems.jpg width height= align= desc=}

In this screen you can see all the items a tracker has, order items by creation, last modification or status. Filter items according to field values. Add an item or modify it.

To add an item use the form at the top of the screen:

''__insert graphic__''

Items will always be added with status = open

To modify an item click the item field title (the bold one) if there's no bold field then go to the admin screen and make some field the "main" field.

The following screen is used to view and item or modify it (if you have the permission)

''__insert graphic__''

Note that if you enabled attachments or comments you can add comments or attachments to a tracker item.

''__insert graphic__''

!Assigning items to users

If an item has a field with type "user" or "group" tracker items will be assignable to users/groups on the site. This is useful in any workflow situation when a user must know what items he has assigned to himself or his group.

Assigned items with open status will be displayed in the user preferences screen:

''__insert graphic__''

!Monitoring items

Users can monitor a tracker or a tracker item, when monitoring a tracker an email will be sent whenever an item is added or changed in the tracker. When an item is being monitored an email is sent when the item is modified. This is again very useful in workflows.

!Permisisons

The following permissions can be used to control trackers. Note that you can set permissions globaly or per-tracker level clicking the "perms" link from the tracker listing in the tracker admin screen.

''__insert graphic__''

!Example a tracker to review movies

The obvious example will be to create a tracker to track bugs or support requests so we are going to show you an example of trackers creating a tracker to review movies.

Our tracker will be used to track reviews of movies with information about each movie, comments and why not attachments of pictures or posters for the movie :-)

Let's start by creating the tracker:

''__insert graphic__''

Now setup the tracker fields, we'll be using the following fields:
name : a text field with the movie name
comment: a textarea with a comment
rating: a combo with options from 1 to 10 to rate the movie
reviewer: name of reviewer

We'll use the created field but we are not interested in the last modified field. You can add other fields if you want.

''__insert graphic__''

Now we can review a movie!

''__insert graphic__''

And list reviews! Using filters and so.
''
__insert graphic__''

We can add comments or attachments to a review!

Before you decide that your Tiki application needs a new feature check if it can be done using trackers if not because of a slight modification let us know it and maybe we can improve the trackers system.
