What is a Tracker?

When you set up a tracker, you are telling CasePortal that you want to receive notifications when updates to the docket sheet for a particular case have been made. During setup, you will have the option to specify both the frequency at which CasePortal will search for docket updates (daily, weekly or monthly) and the notification frequency (alert for every update, a summary, or both).
