Create a base tracking plan from the web template in Console

After creating a Source Application, the recommended way to keep track of what we consider base events for a tracking setup is through the Base tracking plan templates. For this application you can use the Base Web.

To create a Base Web tracking plan for your application, navigate to the Tracking Plans section and after clicking the Templates button, select the Base Web template. Data products page with the suggested data product templates panel open, showing E-commerce Web, Base Web, Media Web, and Base Mobile template options

By default, a Base tracking plan is not connected to a Source Application and will show all the Base Event application IDs, so for this you need to edit the tracking plan and set the Source Application to Todo Web Application. "Edit data product information" modal for the Todo - Base Web tracking plan with "Todo Web Application" selected as the source application

The Base Web (or Mobile) tracking plan will monitor and count base events as they are sent for the selected Source Application app IDs, as we will see later on. There is no need for additional implementation.
