SharePoint 2010 introduces a new feature called Compliance details settings in all list items and library items. They are located in all the list and library items drop down menu.
You could see the following details in the Compliance Details settings.
This allows the SharePoint Administrators to check out the relevant settings that have been applied to a specific item and also to see any rules that are defined on content.
