There are some hidden gems in the Online Tracker, such as tools for group and individual reporting, and account management. We decided to bring those tools front and center by adding them to the Tracker menu. Here’s a picture of the new menu: the items below “Tracker (Word)” have been added recently.

About the Menu Items

Below is a brief summary of each of the items added to the menu. You can learn more about the details for each of them in the Online Tracker Help.

• Groups: You can collect email addresses from friends, family, or organizations to set up a reporting group. Each member of the group needs to have an Online Tracker account. When they log in to the Online Tracker and move slider bars for their Choices in The Family History Guide, you can run a report that summarizes the learning progress of all member of the group.
• Reports: There are two basic types of reports you can run for your group: Current, which shows current Goal progress levels for the group, and Historical, which shows Goal progress over time.
• Resource Stars: This displays a list of all the articles you have read, and videos you have watched, using The Family History Guide. When you mark any star next to an article or video title, the tiel shows up in the list, along with a link to the resource.
• My Account: This page lets you edit your username or email address, set whether to receive email notices (for groups), and change your Online Tracker password.
