  1. Dynamic notification feature in Relay

    In Relay notifications, it's currently only possible to include a pre-set static message. We'd like to have the ability to include dynamic settings that incorporate pre-trigger information such as the target file name.

  2. I would like you to implement a function that allows you to obtain information from login information when using "Box Relay".

    Currently, you can use metadata when renaming files using Box Relay.
    Similarly, I would like to be able to use the signed-in user's My Profile information as the value of "Available Variables".
    (email address, name, company name, etc.)
    Being able to use the information of the signed-in user allows you to obtain reliable information, which I think will improve convenience in various ways.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    「Box Relay」使用時に、ログイン情報から情報を取得できる機能を実装して欲しい。
    <本文>
    現在「Box Relay」を使用して、ファイル名のリネームを行う際に、メタデータを使用する事ができます。
    同じ様に、「利用可能な変数」の値として、サインインしているユーザーのマイプロフィール情報を使用できる様にして頂きたいです。
    (メールアドレス、氏名、会社名、等々…)
    サインインしているユーザーの情報を使える事は、確実な情報を取得する事ができ、様々な点で利便性が上がると思います。
    ご検討の程よろしくお願い申し上げます。

  3. Folder setting: enable/disable file request

    Feature that allow owner/co-owner of folders to enable or disable file request in the folder setting.

    Currently, users can generate file request link in any folders with editor permissions. Some enterprise want to control (disable) usage of file request at the top-level folders depending on intended use.
    e.g. disable file request link in [internal-only] folder.

  4. Add a shared calendar feature within the platform.

    My team has been using box for years. It is fantastic except for the lack of a shared calendar feature. It's very hard to understand why this hasn't been added yet. Users have been asking for it for YEARS, and it can't be much more complex than a box note.

    We despise Google and are not all on Outlook, and I know our team is not alone in this. All we want is a simple shared calendar within the platform.

  5. Box Relay: ability to save draft of workflows without setting all the required fields

    When we create new workflows or edit existing workflows in Box Relay, we cannot save draft until we complete all the required fields. So we sometimes have to re-create workflows from the begging if we cannot fill in all the fields.
    It would be more convenient if we can save draft without setting all the required fields, especially when we create new workflows.

  6. Creating multiple triggers in Relay

    We created a workflow to create subfolders automatically. The ability to create subsequent triggers in those subfolders would be helpful. (i.e. folder A is manually created, folder a1, a2, a3, are automatically created. When a file is uploaded in folder a2, do outcomes 1-3)

  7. Allow HTML Tags in the text of "Send Notification" action in BoxRelay

    Currently, the text entered in the subject and message fields of BoxRelay's "Send Notification" action is sent as is, but if HTML tags could be used, it would not only make it possible to use shared links in email notifications, such as "Please check [approved folder (hyperlink)]," but also expand the amount of information in notifications.

    <BoxRelayの「通知の送信」アクションのテキストでHTMLタグを使用できるように改善してほしい>
    現状BoxRelayの「通知の送信」アクションで件名およびメッセージ欄に入力されたものが、そのまま送信されますが、HTMLタグを使用できれば、メール通知で「[承認済みのフォルダ(ハイパーリンク)]を確認ください」といったような共有リンクを用いた表現が可能となる他、通知における情報量の幅が広がるため改善を希望します。

  8. Ability to start a workflow from the "New +" section

    My customer would like to trigger a workflow that copies a folder (and subfolders) IN the folder where it is created.

    Customer use case:

    A financial services company needs to create a deal folder within the company folder a fund team is working from. Instead of going to the deal folder template to copy it into the specific company folder, they would like to trigger the workflow to copy the deal folder template to the company specific folder with one click and from the company folder.

    This would be similar to using a manual trigger but having a dynamic variable…

  9. Allow Adobe Bridge to Show BOX Drive Folders/Files (Worked in Previous BOX Version)

    With the update to BOX Drive Version 2.24.208, Adobe Bridge no longer shows BOX folders and Files when opening files in the application. In pervious BOX Drive version, Adobe Bridge showed folders/files, just like any other files – either local or in other cloud applications. HUGE inconvenience to workflow. Please reinstate this functionality.

  10. Allow Relay workflow steps to be reordered

    Allow edits to re-order Relay steps after workflow is live.

    For example, if there is a multi-step (5 person) approval needed on a document, and the team/individual who is currently set up to approve a document first now needs to be moved down to 2nd approver, it would be helpful to be able to reorder the steps without having to rebuild the workflow.

    Thanks!

  11. Workflow approval tasks: More than one must approve and less than all may approve a workflow approval task.

    Workflow approval tasks: More than one must approve and less than all may approve a workflow approval task.

    Today, if I want to invite 3 people to approve a task, but I only need 2/3 to approve it, then this is not an option. Similarly, if I want to invite 10 people to approve a task, but I only need 6/10 to approve it, then this is not an option.

    I only have the option for one person to approve it or for everybody to approve it.

  12. Inserting metadata tags for subject line and message fields within Relay

    Within Relay, being able to dynamically populate the metadata fields within the email notifications.

    An example use case is for lease renewal. We have a metadata template for the leases. One of the metadata fields is property name. One of the steps in the workflow would be to assign a task to execute the lease renewal for a specific property which is triggered by lease renewal date. When setting up the notification for the lease execution task assignment, right now the subject line is very generic and would say Action Required: Execute Lease Renewal - as a better user experience…

  14. When are you going to bring back file aliases? Bookmarks are not the same and don't cut it.

    We need to be able to create symlink/aliases for files in multiple locations so that we aren't forced to upload a file multiple times, in several folders.

    We use Box to allow our clients to download files, and we sort those in a way that makes sense for them. We also use Box to upload all of our files in a way that makes sense for our employees to find assets. Without symlinks/aliases this is tedious to do and ridiculous to manage.

  15. Add ability to undo an Approval/Rejection

    This morning I accidentally clicked on the Approve button rather than the Reject button, allowing an incomplete document to be submitted for approval

    It would be nice if an approval or rejection could be undone. Perhaps within a short time frame.

  16. Box Relay: Action to move file to a folder named after Metadata attribute value

    Currently, you can have a trigger based on a Metadata condition. We would like to be able to have the outcome File Action to move the file to a folder that is named based on this Metadata value.

    For example, if there is a Metadata template with an Attribute called "Organization" with a possible value of "HR", then you could have a workflow to trigger when the metadata template is applied and the workflow outcome would move the file to a folder titled "HR".

    For another example, you could use a metadata template containing a date field and then move…

  18. 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。

  19. Ability to run relay workflows as a group

    Relay workflows and approval tasks are started and sent as the user that created the relay. Ideally you want to get the box approval task that is sent to the users to approve to look like it is coming from the team that is requesting the approval.

    Example: Invoice approval
    When an invoice approval relay starts, pick dept. from metadata and start an approval process to the appropriate user as defined in the workflow. The user gets an email that says 'boxadmin' (in out case the user that created the relay) has sent you an approval task.

    It would be…

  20. Add the ability in Relay to move the parent folder in addition to moving the file the triggered the relay workflow

    Currently, I'm able to use Metadata to trigger a relay on a specific file. When this happens, I'd like to have the ability to move the folder that the file is in, and not just the file. Currently, I'm only able to move the file and that doesn't work when we have multiple files that would need to be moved in the same folder. It's simpler to just move the folder that the file is in.

    Example use case: When managing a hiring process, we receive a lot of resumes. In addition to the resumes we receive other documents like…
