How to show a compliance policy to users when they are uploading documents to SharePoint

Regardless of how brilliant your organization’s ideas, how innovative its technology, or how solid the business plan –  regulatory compliance could potentially determine the eventual success or failure of your organization. This is a challenge that some organizations navigate more successfully than others.

For example your company compliance rules require you show a warning dialog to users every time they come to a specific document library.  This dialog should tell them that they cannot upload any document that has credit card or social security numbers in it.  How can you easily accomplish this and scale for the whole SharePoint site?

VisualSP offers the ability to deliver Walkthroughs and Warnings wherever you need them within the SharePoint site.

The warning dialog is developed using a 1-step walkthrough. It contains rich text and graphics to convey the point clearly. Every time a user visits a particular document library, they are shown a warning dialog informing them of the compliance policy.

If they do not agree and click on the "I don't agree" button, they are navigated to a privacy policy page. If they click on the "I agree" button, the dialog box closes and they can see the document library where they have to upload the document.

Analytics in the background capture the fact that they have been shown this dialog. These analytics can then be exported and reported on as needed.
