I recommend beginners have a very simple HUD at first, with just VPIP, PFR, 3-bet and AF. Those numbers are all you need to give an idea of someone's tendencies and allow you to categorise/colour code someone. Then you can devote more time to watching how a hand plays out. You'll also be clear about who you're up against when you play a pot. If you make TPTK and see villain is playing 33/3, you can be fairly sure he's a station, so go for max value. If villain has more TAGgy numbers like 14/12/4 then you know you have to be a bit more careful in a hand with him.
Your tracker will be calculating lots of other stats while only displaying the main ones, and you can start adding things like c-bet, WTSD and "fold to 3-bet" to the HUD once there is enough data for them to be useful.
