How Read and Understood works

Simple rules are created to define the documents for which employees are sent Reading Acknowledgement Requests. Using regional settings in SharePoint at midnight local time, the rules are used to process selected documents. When first installed, Read and Understood operates in a trial mode allowing the rules to be processed on-demand in real-time. This accelerates evaluation of the end-to-end Reading Acknowledgement Request process to be completed without waiting several days.
Once the rules are created, all new and updated documents which match a rule are automatically processed to send Reading Acknowledgement Requests via email.
What the rules define:
· The selection of:

an individual document,
groups of documents by library,
across a site, or
by content type

· Which employees will receive ReadingAcknowledgement Requests through a combination of SharePoint groups, Azure ActiveDirectory groups and Active Directory users
· The period, in days, over which a ReadingAcknowledgement Request must be completed
· The frequency, in days, after which to send a ReadingAcknowledgement Request to employees who have not acknowledged reading
· Fully customizable email templates that include embedding of SharePoint document column values
