Doc not very clear about view.trackedEntity requirement

If I remove the billboard properties, or replace it with Polygone, or even set billboard.show = false the tracking feature stops working.

For an entity to be ‘trackable’ it absolutely needs a Billboard property?

My workaround is the create an billboard with an empty string as image.
