  3. Prevent LFO from occurring due to Box Relay

    When running folder actions (copy/move/delete) in Relay workflows, if the source or destination folder contains a large volume of content, that folder may become subject to LFO, causing files to be locked and preventing other users from accessing them.

    Therefore, when a user attempts to configure a flow with a folder that could be subject to LFO, we want to prevent unexpected LFO by clearly indicating on the flow creation screen that the workflow cannot be created due to LFO—for example, by displaying an error message or making the folder unselectable.

    〈Box RelayによるLFOの発生防止〉
    Relayのワークフローでフォルダアクション(コピー/移動/削除)を実行する際、コピー元またはコピー先のフォルダに大量のコンテンツがあると、そのフォルダがLFOの対象となり、ファイルがロックされて他のユーザーがアクセスできなくなる場合があります。

    そのため、LFOの対象になり得るフォルダをフローに設定しようとした時点で、フロー作成画面でエラーメッセージを表示する、または該当フォルダを選択不可にするなどの対策により、「LFOの影響で当該ワークフローは作成できない」ことを明確にし、想定外のLFO発生を防ぎたいと考えています。

  4. 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.

  5. Box Relay Signing Event Log and Completed Document filed seperately

    Right now, you can create a Box Relay workflow to move/copy Just the Completed Signed document OR both the document and the log. It would be great to be able to also choose to manage the log seperatly too, so you could set up a Log folder to file them in a seperate location if you'd like, from the completed document.

  6. 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。

  7. Ability to add reminder notification function for folders and files

    I want you to apply the remind notification function for folders and files

    Currently Box Relay cannot send reminders for folders and files.
    I want you to apply the function to send notifications with a custom date and interval for each folder and file.
    With this function, it is possible to prevent oversight of work that has a deadline, and it is possible to carry out work efficiently.

    フォルダやファイルに対してのリマインド通知機能を適用して欲しい

    現在BoxRelayではフォルダやファイルに対してリマインド通知を送信することができません。
    フォルダ、ファイルごとにカスタムした日付と間隔で通知を送信する機能を適用して欲しいです。
    この機能により期日のある作業の見落としを防ぐことが出来て、効率的に業務をおこなうことが可能となります。

  9. Copy file in workflow should create a new version if file already exists

    I am creating Quality Management workflows. At the end of the workflow the released document is copied to a new area, that is shared with the consumers of the QM-documentation.

    Works fine the first time we run the workflows. If we update the document and run the workflow again, the target file is not versioned: we get a new file with the same name and a timestamp added to it.

    I appreciate this behaviour in some situations and understand why you have chosen this solution. However we would like to have the option in the workflow to "version the file,…

  10. 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.

  11. Auto overwrite if the file is uploaded with the same name in the folder via File Request.

    In the current spec, the file with the same name in the folder is uploaded via File Request, the file name is automatically changed to containing date and time.
    I want the option to overwrite the file when it has the same name of existing files.

  12. Enhance relay feature

    Relay limitations:

    Not being able to tie outcomes from one flow to other outcomes from other flows all within the same workflow. Dynamically having related outcomes is critical to Relay’s usefulness.

    Cascading folder metadata not being brought over when copying a file.

    Having a third option for approval tasks (approved with feedback/conditionally approved).

  15. 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。

  16. Automated File renaming (at scale) - Programmatic creation of workflows

    When a file is moved to any folder called “#Archive”, the file should be renamed with a prefix of “OLD_”

    For example: I have a file called “mywordfile.docx” I now want to archive this file, so I drag it into a folder call “#Archive”. Box Automation should then rename my file to “OLD_mywordfille.docx”

    Problem statement
    The box automation trigger “when file moved to folder” requires an explicit folder path. Meaning I would need to configure a rule per “#Archive” folder within our folder structure. We have many. So, manually setting up relay for every single #Archive folder is not a…

  17. Relay based on folder name

    It would be helpful to be able to create a relay workflow based on the folder name so we can auto-copy/move a folder based on a specified folder name.
    eg: if a folder starts with 'ZZtest' move the entire folder into another parent folder.

  18. Build a dashboard so that we can track the progress of our workflows that are in flight.

    Build a dashboard so that we can track the progress of our workflows that are in flight. There could be hundreds of workflows in progress at any time and it is too time consuming to log into each one to check progress.

  19. Box sign automation with relay

    After a Box Signer completes a document(i.e NDA), using relay having automation to add that signer as a collaborator to a folder. This would be a tremendous enhancement for anyone who uses Box as a data room or would like automation with Box Sign and Relay.

  20. Add “Specify when started” option in “Send a notification” outcome

    There is an option “Specify when started” in “Assign a task” outcome. It would be convenient to have a similar option in “Send a notification” outcome, since the recipients might vary depending on who started the workflow.
