# How to create and manage counter
#### Step-by-Step Guide
#### Login to Questera
* Head over to the Questera and log in with your credentials.
#### Navigate to Counters
* On the left-hand Nav bar, look for Track & Measurements.
* Click to expand the section.
* Then, select Counters to open the Counters page.\
#### Click on Create a Counter
* On the right side of the Counters page, you’ll see a button labeled Create a Counter.
* Click it to start creating a new Counter.\
#### Choose the Type of Counter
A pop-up will appear with the heading Add Your Type of Counter. Here, you have two options:
* **Independent Counter:** A standalone counter that tracks a value independently, not tied to any specific event.
* **Event-Based Counter:** A counter that tracks how often a specific event (or events) happen, based on the properties you define.
Select the type of counter you want to create.\
#### Set Up Your Counter
**If you choose Independent Counter:**
* A form will appear where you need to fill in the following details:
* **Counter Name:** Give your counter a clear and descriptive name
* **Counter Description**: Briefly explain what this counter is tracking.
* **Streak:** Optional field to set up streak tracking if needed.
* **Source SDK:** Pre-filled with your SDK source details.
* You’ll also see an option to copy the SDK code snippet—use this to integrate the counter in your app or website.
* Once you’ve filled in all the details, click Save and Publish.
Your Independent Counter is now live and visible on the Counters page.\

**If you choose Event-Based Counter:**
* A form will appear where you need to fill in the following details:
* **Counter Name:** Name the counter (e.g., "Product Page Views").
* **Counter Description:** Describe what this counter measures.
* **Event Name:** Choose the event you want to base this counter on (e.g., "Button Click", "Purchase Made").
* **Counter Property Details:** Add properties to refine what you’re counting (e.g., "Category: Electronics").
* You can add multiple properties if needed.
* **Increment By:** Define how much the counter should increase when the event occurs (default is 1, but you can set any value).
* After filling in the details, click Save and Publish.
Your Event-Based Counter is now active and visible on the Counters page.\
#### Managing Your Counters
* Once created, all your active counters both independent and event-based will appear on the Counters page.
* If you need to delete a counter, simply click on the delete icon on the right side of the counter.
