This action creates a new tracker that tracks the value of a variable.

If variable has more than one field, user is prompted to select which field will be displayed by the tracker.

If the variable belongs to a Device Context (e.g. it is a Device setting), the user is prompted to create an Offline status for the newly created tracker. Tracker in Offline state is indicated by gray color (this is a default color -- it may be changed). This state is activated when the Device is disconnected from the server.
