Enabling Tracking

Default vs. Custom Tag Configuration

Default

To automatically add tracking to all existing and new Modern pages in the tenancy, simply activate the Default tag.

See Creating Configurations > Creating the Default Tag

Note:

The Default Tag is only available when using the Tenant-Wide version of the Webtrends Tag Manager.

Note:

Classic experience pages cannot be tagged automatically with a default tag due to the requirement of installing a User Custom Action on the site collection.

Custom Tag

To apply a Custom Tag to individual site collections, and/or to enable tracking of Classic pages, apply a Custom Tag:

Click the Site Collections tab.
Select one or more sites in the list.
Click Tag Sites at the top.
A Tag Selection form appears.
Choose the desired Custom Tag from the List

Note:

You may alternatively click Create New Tag to create a brand new Tag Configuration and automatically apply it to the selected sites.

Click Apply Configuration to apply the selected tag to the selected site collections.

Note:

In the Single-Site version of Webtrends Tag Manager, the application of a Custom Tag will install the Webtrends Tag Manager package onto the site collection and sub-sites directly, where it is visible in the Site Contents page of each site collection and sub-site.

It is recommended to only add/remove this using the Webtrends Tag Manager interface to avoid the Tag Manager and the site from becoming out of sync.

Note:

In the Single-Site version of Webtrends Tag Manager, the application of a Custom Tag will display a warning bar on the left side of the affected row(s).

Affected rows will be unselectable within the UI for 5 minutes, and display a warning to "Please wait 5 minutes before modifying highlighted site(s)." when hovered over.

Further interaction with the site within the 5 minutes can result in errors if the SharePoint Timer Job is still pending. This delay helps prevent unnecessary errors.

Note:

Classic experience tracking requires the installation of User Custom Actions on the site collection. Allow Custom Scripting must be enabled on the site collection to allow the installation of a UCA for classic pages.

Please see: Allow or prevent custom script
