Content is targeted for reading using standard SharePoint tags. All libraries with Compliance Tracker 365 applied have 6 additional columns used to tag mandatory and optional terms, tracker type, expiry and reread requirements.
Column values can be update directly through the library, from Page details or using Info panel from the Tracker.
From v3.0, the Tracker is displayed in the page footer for any document or page setup with a Tracker Type.
