The My Account Page

This page lists the user's Track, Messages, Account Information, TrackPack, and Track Group. It also has

My Tracks
Under this section, you can find a list of all your Tracks. For example, in the image below you can see that this
user has seven Tracks in her account.

Notice that each Track has an id number, title, status, and last date modified listed. You will want to pay close
attention to the id number assigned to each of your Tracks. This number is the easiest way for your students to
access the Track. To preview the Track you may click on the title of the Track. The status of your Track will be
represented by a green, yellow, or red diamond. Green means that your Track has gone through the TrackStar
review process and everything in your Track fits the TrackStar guidelines. Red means that your Track is not yet
reviewed, but still able to be used. Yellow means that your Track is on hold, and you should refer to your
messages in order to see what needs to be corrected. The last date modified shows the last time you or the
TrackStar administrators edited the Track.

My Messages

In the My Messages center, you will receive alerts from the TrackStar Administrator. If one of your
Tracks should be placed on hold, a message is automatically sent to your TrackStar account and to
the email address you used when you registered with TrackStar. When you login you will then see the
alert message, like the one in the image below.

To read the message, simply click on the title of the email. A new window will open and the email message will tell you exactly why the Track was placed on hold and what steps you may take to correct the error. The image below shows an example of an alert email.
