# trackingEnabled

A flag to track the activity with a signpost interval.

```
static var trackingEnabled: ProcessInfo.ActivityOptions { get }
```

## Discussion

To help you investigate perfomance issues in your app, use [`trackingEnabled`](/documentation/Foundation/ProcessInfo/ActivityOptions/trackingEnabled) to track the timing of a user interaction by annotating the beginning and end of an activity using a signpost interval.

Calling [`beginActivity(options:reason:)`](/documentation/Foundation/ProcessInfo/beginActivity(options:reason:)) to begin the activity returns an object token that you retain for the duration of the activity. The logging system produces a distinct message, useful in debugging, if the object token is de-allocated before you call [`endActivity(_:)`](/documentation/Foundation/ProcessInfo/endActivity(_:)).

The flag [`trackingEnabled`](/documentation/Foundation/ProcessInfo/ActivityOptions/trackingEnabled) differs from [`animationTrackingEnabled`](/documentation/Foundation/ProcessInfo/ActivityOptions/animationTrackingEnabled) in the type of interval signposts the logging system emits. Use [`animationTrackingEnabled`](/documentation/Foundation/ProcessInfo/ActivityOptions/animationTrackingEnabled) when the interaction involves an animation.
