Feature Request: Mark as Read (for entries)

[rafaehlers]

Currently, we have no proper way of marking an entry as read (is_read) for a specific user. The closest functionality we have for that is Front-End Approval, which is not exactly the same thing.

• Add field to display read status with customizable labels
• Mark an entry as read when it's viewed on the front-end
• Add View field to mark an entry as read
• Confirm table columns are front-end sortable by read status
• Add Search Bar filters for read status (works with boolean input type but should be select)
• Confirm Views are back-end pre-sortable by read status

What parameters make for a "read":

I'd be interested in a 3sec pageview triggering the read status.
How this works for list tables that contain most of the entry information (so do not need to be read in single entry view) is a tricky thought..?

Side note: for email recipients (@stevehenty) - could a similar feature to one-click-approval-links be used to prompt marking a "read-receipt", or are more advanced mail delivery checks avalaible to log this?

I wouldn't want to time it, personally. Simply accessing a single entry while logged in (pretty simple to do on our end) should do the trick, just like GF does it in the backend. Keeping things in meta (like we do with approval). This should be simple to pull off.
