Source tracking: Add or edit a custom tracking category
Table of Contents
You can add custom Source Tracking categories when you need to track URL parameters beyond the six standard types.
Add custom categories
You can create up to 25 custom Source Tracking Categories with up to 10 total sources per category.
You can add non-standard or custom Source Tracking Categories to your account to help handle more complex use cases and track a wider range of data for candidate sourcing traffic. To add additional categories, follow the steps below.
- Click the + Add Tracking Category button in the top right corner of the Source Tracking page.

- A slide-out drawer will open where you can add the name and description of the Tracking Category.
- Note: A minimum of 5 characters is required for the Description field. This field also allows for a maximum of 160 characters.
- Enter at least one source parameter for this category in the Enter Source field.
- If necessary, add additional sources under this category by clicking the + Add Source button and entering in the source name.
- Note: You can add up to 10 sources.
- Click Create in the bottom right corner of the drawer to add the new Source Tracking Category to the list.
When a new Source Tracking Category is created, the system will also create a Candidate Attribute to support the custom source with the following details:
- Candidate Attribute Name = Tracking Category Name
- Key Name = utm_Tracking_Category_Name
- Description = Custom Tracking Category Description
- Last Edited = Lasted edited date for the custom parameter & attribute
Edit custom categories
You can edit a Custom Tracking Category in one of two ways:
- Click into the category row.
- Hover over the category; click its action menu, or the three dot icon; and then select Edit.

A slide-out drawer will then open where you can make and save changes to the category.
Delete custom categories

To delete a custom category, simply hover over the category; click its action menu, or ellipses; and then select Delete. A confirmation modal will then display where you can click Delete and remove the category from the list.
