DescriptionDescription for the tracker
Click **Save** when finished.
The tracker will be added to your organization's data manager.
Additionally, the tracker will be added to the selected vendor and can be viewed via **Data Manager > Vendors > \[Vendor] > Tracker**.
### Add tracker by regex There are specific use-cases where your organization may want to persist tracker configuration across a group of trackers that follow a particular pattern. Utilizing [regular expression (regex)](https://docs.didomi.io/get-started/general/regular-expression-regex), you can provide the pattern for a single tracker and Didomi will apply the tracker's settings to any tracker found that matches the pattern. > **Example**: > > Your organization has three cookies being dropped by the same vendor on a domain that should have the same settings. The trackers that are dropped are: > > * `_ga` > * `_ga#` > * `_ga_12345` Using the example above, your organization can attribute and persist the same settings across all three cookies with a regex of `^_ga` . To define this pattern, enable the **Name is a regular expression** toggle and use a regular expression in the **Name** field when adding or editing a tracker in your data manager.
Click **Save** when finished. All trackers that match your configured regex pattern will inherit the source tracker's settings. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
