Edit a Tracker
The General tab is used for editing the tracker's Name, Description, Key, Template, and Workflow attributes:
From Codebeamer 9.3.0, you can customize the color of the breadcrumb navigation field of a tracker. If you want to modify the color of the breadcrumb navigation field, select a color in the Color field. It is also possible to customize the icon of a tracker in the breadcrumb navigation field. To modify the icon, upload an image by selecting Attach a file in the Breadcrumb Icon field. The maximum size of the image that can be uploaded is 128x128 pixels.
When a branch is created for a tracker, the branch inherits the customized icon of the tracker. This means that the configuration window of the branch does not contain an Icon field and the option to upload an image.
You can also configure an icon for the tracker that will be used in wiki links, tree icons and in general everywhere where a tracker icon is shown. You can configure this using the Icon field. If you want to use the default icon instead of the one that you uploaded you can switch back to it using the Reset to default checkbox.

The icon must be a 32x32 pixel PNG image with transparent background. (This function is available from Codebeamer 20.11–LTS)

The tracker icon is inherited through templating and branching but you can overwrite it if you want. This means that when you create a new branch then the branch will have the same custom icon as the tracker you created it from.
As an option, you can associate an email address and or inbox with the tracker, in order to allow submitting new issues via email. To associate an inbox with the tracker, select an inbox in the Inbox field. For more information, see section Email Integration: Sending Emails to Codebeamer.
To hide the tracker or CMDB category from the list of trackers or from the CMDB overview, check the Hidden checkbox in the Visibility field.
Hiding trackers/categories can be useful for system internal trackers, for example, Time Tracking or Pull Request trackers. You can also use this option to clean up the Trackers and CMDB table by hiding trackers/categories that contain old information which you want to keep for future references, but which you do not want to modify any more.
You can make hidden trackers and categories visible by activating the Show all option in the Trackers and CMDB screen. You can also make a hidden tracker visible again by unchecking the Hidden checkbox in the Visibility field.
From Codebeamer 9.4.0, it is possible to display parent/child items of tracker items by default. To display parent/child items of tracker items by default, select the Show Ancestor Items and/or Show Descendant Items option. If these options are selected, parent and child items will be displayed for tracker items in the Table View, Document View, and Document Edit View.

If ancestors/descendants are not displayed for the items of a specific tracker by default, and the Show Ancestor Items is also not selected in User Preferences (see Displaying Ancestor Items by Default in Document and Document Edit View), then instead of a tree view, you will see a simple list of tracker items on the left-hand side panel in the Document and Document Edit View of the tracker. It will not be possible to use the drag-and-drop function to change the order of the items on this panel or to include an item in another item as a child.
