      <SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="AdditionalPageHead" AllowMultipleControls="true"/>

      This control is included in the master pages for all SharePoint templates, except the MOSS 2007 Publishing Site master page. 
      Add this control to all MOSS 2007 Publishing Site master pages, right before the closing </HEAD> tag. Alternatively, you can also use a top master file which is included in all of the Publishing Sites master pages, in order to perform a single update.

     

    (2) Automatically add the JavaScript tracking code

    Notes: This step should be done for each WFE. The CardioLog service account must have write permissions to the SharePoint template directory: 
    [SharePoint 2013 Server]\%PROGRAMFILES%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE
    [SharePoint 2010 Server]\%PROGRAMFILES%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE
    [SharePoint 2007 Server]\%PROGRAMFILES%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE 

    1. In the Usage Tracking dialog, select "Yes, add the tracking code to my SharePoint INIT.JS files" and enter the SharePoint WFE server names, to allow CardioLog to automatically add the tracking code to all SharePoint pages served by the all the WFEs in your farm (the tracking code is added to init.js in SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013, and core.js in SharePoint 2007).

       

      Step 2 - Usage Tracking

      Note: If your SharePoint website runs on SSL
      , you will have to create a certificate for the CardioLog website and configure it to enable SSL. Alternatively, you can install the CardioLog Analytics SharePoint Feature
      See 
      how to configure the Tracking Agent with SSL for more details.
       

    2. Click Next

    If you wish to add the tracking code yourself - select "No, I will add the tracking code myself" and copy the JavaScript tracking code to a common page component of your choice - such as master pages, page toolbars, Web Parts, footer, etc. If you choose a common JavaScript (.js) file, verify you have removed the opening and closing <script> tags!
