# Tracking Activity Data from Public Maps (Helm)

CARTO now supports tracking activity data from public maps, allowing administrators to measure the impact of their public maps by tracking interactions from unauthenticated visitors (e.g., views, exports, most active maps).

For more details, see: <https://docs.carto.com/whats-new#tracking-activity-data-from-public-maps>

This feature is **not enabled by default**. To enable it, add the following configuration in your `customizations.yaml` file:

```yaml
appConfigValues:
  publicEventsApiEnabled: true
```

You'll have to deploy the new changes to you environment to ensure that the new component that will be handling the events triggered by your public maps is ready!
