How to track ticket template usage?

Greetings all!
We are interested in hearing how different organizations track the usage of incident ticket templates. We would like to analyze what templates are used on a regular basis. We would like to populate a field by the template to record its usage, but would rather not have that field viewable on the ticket creation screen. Any ideas?
Thanks!

My company are also looking at options for tracking the use of templates across all Tasks. Has anyone done this/have any suggestions.



I was thinking along the lines of adding a hidden field to hold the template name and another to hold the date used in the TASK table. Then use a business rule to add the relevant details to these fields when a template is used.



My first stumbling block is that I don't know how to track the menu action of adding the template? An anyone help with this?


I'm sure I can get this working if I knew the event name or ui action triggered here.
