Daily Tracking allows you to control how tracking numbers are generated when adding patients. In general, it is assumed you do not need to generate tracking numbers when there are a large number of patients, such as during mass casualty incidents, flu clinics, or large-scale events, because you use triage tags or bracelets. However, on routine, individual runs, daily tracking options determine which forms automatically generate tracking numbers.

To use daily tracking, it must be enabled through Regional Settings. Then, when you create Web - Add and Mobile - Add forms, you decide whether to make the form a Daily Tracking form. If designated as such, you configure daily tracking options during form design. Daily tracking options apply on the form you open to first enter a patient and do not apply when opening additional forms within a run. During a run, once a patient has been entered and a tracking number generated, the patient's tracking  current patient persists across all forms.

Three daily tracking options can be configured through the Tracking Number element on a form:

• Always: Tracking numbers are generated automatically when these forms are opened. Unless you started a run and already entered a patient, opening one of these forms always generates a tracking number. This means the ID # field will contain a number and it cannot be edited.
• Only for daily tracking: Tracking numbers are generated automatically only when these forms are opened after starting the run clock. From the Patients tab, if you open these forms directly, the ID # field is blank and you are required to enter a tracking number. However, if you start the run clock and then select one of these forms, the ID # field contains a number and it cannot be edited.
• Never: Tracking numbers are not generated when you open these forms. Unless you started a run and already entered a patient, opening one of these forms never generates a tracking number. This means the ID # field will be blank and you are required to enter a number.

Daily tracking forms, along with other forms, are available when you land on the Patients tab. However, when you start the run clock, only daily tracking forms appear on the page. During a run, after you enter and save information about a patient, the ID # field defaults to and is locked on that patient's tracking number. This allows you to add and update information about that patient throughout the run.
