  9. Repeat the preceding steps to create six additional events for this dataset, as defined in the following table. You already created the event in the first row.
    Events of the Campaign Dataset
    Event Name Event Display Filters
    Start name name='$session_started'
    Purchase name name='$purchase'
    All application events name
    • name!='$session_started'
    • name!='$session_ended'
    First app use name name='$first_used_app'
    Not a purchase name name!='$purchase'
    All non-purchase application events name
    • name!='$session_started'
    • name!='$session_ended'
    • name!='$purchase'
    End name name='$session_ended'

When you finish defining all events for the dataset, your list of events should appear similar to the following:
