Create a Source Application

The basis for every tracking setup is the Source Application. It represents the tracking estate, in a specific platform (web, Android, iOS, etc.), for an application which in our case would be named 'Todo Web Application'.

Navigate to the Source Applications section and click the Add a source application button.

The inputs on the creation screen are:

  • Name: A name used for this application which is fairly understood across the organization.
  • Description: A few words on what this Source Application represents and/or any notes.
