Hi,
So i'm starting to think that audience targeting is not what it was sold as. So far the only place I can get audience targeting to work is with navigation. Any place else that article says you can enable it doesn't do the same thing where it "hides" the object unless you're in the audience. Also I've watched\read a few posts from MS and they seem to be walking back the functionality of audience targeting, since they always use the fall back line of "if you need to restrict access you should be using custom permissions". Which is great unless you don't want to break inheritance a million times.
