4. Configure tracking preferences:
   * Check **"Track individual items"** to enable tracking for this variant. When enabled, item input field checkboxes become available. **Note:** Serial numbers are automatically tracked when "Track individual items" is enabled.
   * Select which [custom fields](/serializer-product-tracking/getting-started/setup-and-configuration/settings/track-custom-item-information.md) to track (if configured in Settings)
   * Check **"Track warranty"** to enable warranty tracking. If enabled, enter **default warranty duration** (value and unit: days, months, or years)
