Cross Domain Goal Tracking

[Simple_Machines]

I am trying to set up conversion tracking on a new website. The traffic will be landing on example.com, but the final step of the transaction takes place on app.example.com. This is the first time I have ever done something like this and Google's documentation does not have a lot of details about how to do this in GA.

1. Does the tracking code need to be installed on example.com and app.example.com?

2. when setting up the goal page does it need to be /landing-page/thank-you or app.example.com/landing-page/thank-you

3. is this well documented in google's help finals and i am just calling it the wrong thing?
