# Create an Event

Whatfix enables you to track events on elements in your application to see how end users engage with a feature. For example, track how many end users click the **Reports** tab in your application.

Expand the following accordions for more details:

**Track an Untracked event**

Untracked events are elements that end users click in your application. Whatfix captures these clicks with Default tracking and lists the most-clicked elements under **Suggested events to track**.

Use the following steps to track an Untracked event:

1. Log in to your application, and then launch the **[Whatfix Studio](/studio/docs/how-to-install-the-whatfix-editor)**.
