Hello,

this is something that can be done with Alfresco Share albeit with a little coding and not out-of-the-box. You can assign metadata to a document (your policy) about the next review date and have a dashlet on a dashboard (user or site) display all policy documents where that date is close by or has passed based on a simple search query. The digital feedback can be collected by providing a simple, one-click action on the details page of a document where users can check that they've read the document. The list of users that have checked this can be tracked via another metadata property (and could be reset if a document is changed and needs to be read again).

Axel

Hi, thanks for the reply. That looks quite straight-forward. I'll have a look into it.
