Item-Level Auditing with SharePoint Server 2007
(This blog is switching into English, for reasons I will get back to :)
Many of my customers in Sweden, Schools and Universities that have been using FirstClass from Open Text, miss some of the features of the FirstClass Client in SharePoint. One of which is the possibility to se who have clicked or opened a message in a conference, Equal to a blog post or a document in a SharePoint site.
My reply has been well you can always turn on Auditing and check who acessed what and where but it's not present in the standard UI of lists in SharePoint and the auditing UI is a bit cumbersome for some users. Yesterday I discussed it with my fellow colleague Magnus Danielson and he found this interesting article on MSDN by Ted Pattison from the Ted Pattison Group and Joanna Bichsel, Microsoft.

It describes how to get an Item-Level Auditing menu on a document library ECB (Edit Control Box).

It comes with example code and everything, I can't understand how I've missed this little nugget. Making it way much simpler for the end user to with one click see who has "read" a document.
I leave the "read" discussion to someone else, go to Tobii for eyetracking. ;)
