@Federer22 You should be able to do this in the Fitbit web dashboard at fitbit.com (same username and password as the app).

Click the gear icon i the top right corner and select your Charge 5 device. Under the Charge 5 settings, select the AUTO-EXERCISE section and ensure that elliptical is enabled, and set the desired minimum time. Under Exercise Shortcuts, you can select which exercises will show up on your Charge 5 tracker.
