As described fully in the Integrated Systems (tracks) section of the main FIT documentation, the track feature allows you to integrate multiple systems into one common interface and administer these independent instances, with one common configurable user base.
The term “track” is used to define each specialized template that is configured in an integrated system. Each system starts out with one track that acts as a tracker for a particular discipline or context, such as bug tracking, issue management, risk management or help desk ticketing.
The Track Administration menu is located in the advanced section of the Admin menu. This menu is composed of three tabs which are used to maintain tracks.
When migrating a track, choose the template configuration you would like to migrate to, and then type the name of the resulting track. This migrates the existing track, it does not create a new one.
This tab also has an option for creating a template (not shown here), in case you want to copy your current Track and use it as the base for a new one. This will also allow you to copy a track setup to another machine.
The Add Track tab allows the administrator to add a new track instance to their FIT system. This track will then be available to all relevant users from the “Change Track” dropdown in the menu at the top of all system pages.
A list of Available Templates is shown at the top of the page. Select the template that most closely matches your requirements. The resulting track will of course be fully customizable, this is just an initial configuration.
The Track Title is used by the “Change Track” dropdown on all system pages, to link to your new track from your existing tracks. This name will also be used to replace XXX in the “Create New XXX” submenu item which is available from the Actions menu for the dropdown style sheet.
Finally, you must choose the Users that you wish to pull from your existing Tracks. These are the users that you are giving access to the new track
The Active Modules tab indicates additional modules that are currently active on the system. This is actually not track related.
