Create event category

Create an event category for the Timeline Series Config tool.

About this task

Events are the digital representation of a customer's activity that gets passed to SessionM as data. Generally they can be defined as one of the three categories: engagement (or activity), location and purchase. Though not mandatory for creating an event type, event categories are a useful way to group event types.
