  1. Provide the ability to customize the message that is sent to workflow participants when starting a Relay workflow.

    I have a review workflow that I want to use repeatedly. Each time I start the workflow I have specific instructions that I want the workflow participants to see. This is usually a complete timeline for the review cycle in which the current review might be the first or subsequent steps.

    My workaround right now is to send a separate email to the workflow participants, but this means they get 2 emails about the same review.

  3. Tasks in relay are owned by Relay owner rather than workflow initiator

    Currently tasks have owner and assignee. The owner is always relay owner, who gets notifications when there are any changes to the task which may not be ideal.

    Allow for an option to have the task owner be the workflow initiator instead.

    Hello all,


    Thanks for requesting this feature. The product team reviewed this request and added to our backlog for consideration. We look to revisit this next year and once we start working on this, we will update the status. 


    Thanks,

  4. Make the message area editable on relay manual workflows

    In manual workflows, it should be possible for the workflow starter to customize the message field.

  5. Show Favorites/Collections when using Copy/Move

    I often move things to a particular folder over and over again. It sure would be nice to see my Favorites in the Move/Copy window!

  6. About setting up a file request

    In the file request link, the setting screen for the name and email address fields has been changed.
    Previously, the "Settings" section of the file request included a section for setting a name and email address.
    The way it's currently set up, it seems like there are more setup steps that prompt you to enter your name and email address.

    As before, please improve the file request so that it can be configured to require a name or email address in the "Settings" section of the file request as well.

    ファイルリクエストリンクの、氏名、メールアドレスの入力欄の設定画面が変更されています。
    以前は、ファイルリクエストの「設定」項目に、氏名、メールアドレスの入力欄を設定する箇所がありました。
    現在の設定方法では、氏名、メールアドレスの入力欄を設定する手順が以前より複雑になっているように見受けられます。

    以前同様、ファイルリクエストの「設定」から、氏名、メールアドレスの入力欄を設定できるように改善してください。

  7. File Request Scripting

    Customer would like to use File Request instead of FTP, however, there is no way to script a automatic process to upload via file request.

    We have a vendor that needs to upload files to us. They have an automated/scripted process using FTP so wanted to know if there was a way to do the same via File Request, otherwise it would be a manual process.

  8. File Request Link API: Get a file_request object by folder's ID

    The file request link is a very useful feature.
    The advantage of being able to operate from the API is great.
    Next, I want to be able to get the file_request object from the folder.

  9. Copy file from relay should version the target, not create a new file

    We have a release workflow, where documents are being copied to a shared environment after they have been approved. This works well for the first version of the document.

    However, if we change the document and send it through the approval process again, Box creates a new document at the target area. Box does NOT create a new version of the existing document.

    Since this process is really key to creating "Quality Managed" documentation, Box relay should offer to version an existing document. Defaulting to creating a new document, makes Box unusable for these kind of approvals.

  10. Ability to start 'manual start' workflows at levels other than editor

    It would be great for the workflow owner to be able to set a lower level of permission to be able to kick of certain manual start workflows. The use case is that a client has a bunch of reference documents that they don't want their general audience to be able to download or edit, but still want them to be able to request changes to be made as part of a formalised process. At present those people can still annotate and comment, but the team making the changes can't track what's being asked, and so have to manually keep…

  11. The "File Request" function available not only to the managed users but also to external users.

    We'd like to see the "File Request" function available not only to the managed users but also to external users.
    If possible, we'd like this setting to be able to be done by folder from "Folder Settings".

    We are confident that this feature will expand the use of Box even further.

    「ファイルリクエスト」機能を管理対象ユーザーだけでなく、外部ユーザーも利用できるように利用可否の選択肢を広げて欲しい。
    可能であれば、この設定は「フォルダ設定」からフォルダ単位で行えるようにして欲しい。

    この機能があればBoxの利用の幅がさらに広がると思います。

  12. options dialog when moving and file already exists in destination

    Currently, when a file is in the process of being moved from one folder to other and a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder, an error message is given and the operation is candelled.
    Maybe an options dialog would be better, asking the user if they want to overwrite (add a new version of) the file, or rename either of the files within the dialog.

  13. Approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files

    We want to approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files.

    For example, I get an application for three files and I want to turn back only one of them, but as it stands, I need to turn back all three. The applicant has to choose three files again and re-apply, which is very time-consuming.

  14. Assign Relay task to person who completed previous task.

    If you create a task and assign it to multiple users, say Tom, Bill and Susan where only 1 person needs to complete it, I want to be able to automatically assign the subsequent task to the person that completed the preceding task. For example, if Susan is the person that completes task 1, I would want the subsequent task to be assigned to Susan only, eliminating Bill and Tom from the process.

  18. Add more detailed information to Relay workflow tracking

    When viewing the tracking for an individual document progressing through a workflow, the task completion status is not granular enough to tell if any or no assignees have completed a task. For example: if there were four people required to approve a step, and three had approved, but the last person hadn't, this level of detail is only visible from the activity pane on the document, not from the tracking in Relay.

  19. Box Relay Lite email notification

    The current behavior of "Box Relay Lite" is that workflow creator gets the approval notification.

    The The expectations from us is that a notification email of the approval result will be sent to the approval requester who uploaded the file to the specified folder.
