Existing rules ensure that Desktop APM does not track the name of individual websites you visit. We're going to set up Desktop APM to only track Dota 2, so these rules are no longer needed.

Step 6 Click into the top input box and input the character *

Ensure the radio button Ignore is selected, and click Add.

Desktop APM: Add rule for Dota 2
Click into the top input box and input the text "Dota 2".
The text is case sensitive, so ensure it matches exactly as shown.
