!!! note
	  Possible values for *Data Collection Type* are:

* Immediate: data can only be collected at the specified processing point (either TrackIn or TrackOut)
* LongRunning (only possible for TrackIn): data can be collected at TrackIn, at any time between TrackIn and TrackOut; and at TrackOut
* LongRunningAfterTrackIn (only possible for TrackIn): data can be collected at any time between TrackIn and TrackOut; and at TrackOut; but not at TrackIn
