  2. Time to complete task including / excluding weekends

    A customer I am working with would like to add the flexibility to include or exclude weekends when adding a time to complete tasks. This would make more business sense to end users to not include weekends when assigning a time to complete, and would make for a more standard business process. It would make it easier when creating relay workflows to assign a task that needs to be completed in two business days rather than just two days. This would be for the reason that if a task is assigned on a Friday to completed in a day, then…

  3. Past/Completed Tasks and Comments Deletion

    Completed tasks stay in the activity chain on any given file. This along with a long list of comments stalls the activity window while it tries to cache all of the past and current comments and tasks. Currently we have our users deleting old comments but we can't delete completed tasks. We need a way to delete old history in the activity window for any given file or your system needs to cache the activity so it appears instantly, sometimes it takes more than five minutes to be able to make new comments/tasks around a file.

  5. Ability to change and update assignee on expired tasks

    We would like to see an improvement so that it is possible to delete and update users from "Modify Task" even for expired tasks.
    For expired tasks, pressing "Update" from "Change Task" will not respond, and the task cannot be edited.
    It is inconvenient not to be able to edit or update tasks, as tasks cannot be marked as completed when unauthorized users are absent due to leaving the company or being transferred.
    Also, although it is possible to update a task by extending its deadline, I would like to keep a history of when the task was created.
    There…

  6. Ability to edit tasks for users other than the workflow/task creater

    It would be nice if owners/co-owners of content could edit a task on items in a folder in case somebody is out and unable to do so

  7. Data Insights for Box Tasks

    I am looking for a way to see a matrix of box tasks for each member of my team with their status, completion, etc. for all members of my team. Ultimately a dashboard view that indicates the number of tasks received, approved, denied, completed, outstanding, and overdue. Alternatively, a data connection to Monday.com or PowerBi would assist in seeing where we are at individually and as a team.

  8. Slack notifications for tasks

    We cannot be getting task notifications on Slack Channel. Comment notifications to the Slack Channel have become very convenient, but if task notifications are also given, seamless communication will be possible and more convenient.

  9. "Comments" - Feed to read most recent at the top/oldest at the bottom

    To make the "comments" feature more easier to read and follow as a team. It would be great if we have the option/it was the default for the most recent comments to appear at the top, and the oldest to appear at the bottom. This would prevent people from needing the extra step of scrolling all the way down to keep up to date/missing something because they didn't scroll.

    We're trying to persuade the team to use this feature more and it would really help with this.

  10. reassign tasks

    The ability to reassign an approval task on a document that is assigned to me as well as be able to reassign the task as the person creating the task. Our approval flows are very dynamic and when people are OOO or busy they often need to reassign to someone else to not hold up our processes.

  11. Add a "View All Tasks" button to the left menu

    To view all tasks, you need to press the clipboard icon and then select "View All Tasks."
    It takes two clicks each time, which is very time-consuming.
    I would like you to add it to the left menu so that I can check all tasks with a single click.
    -in Japanese-
    すべてのタスクを確認するにはクリップボードアイコンを押してから“View All Tasks”を押す必要があります。毎回2クリック必要となるので非常に手間がかかっています。1回のクリックですべてのタスクを確認できるよう左メニューに追加してほしい。

  13. Automate task creation on newly uploaded files.

    This is a multi-part request: I would like to be able to automate task creation and I would like to incorporate SLAs based on document tags/folders/etc.
    Basically, I would like a task to generate automatically based on set rules (identified assignee(s), SLAs e.g "Due Date = X min/hours/days in the future" based on x SLA)

  14. Sort order after processing approval tasks and general tasks using Box Relay

    After assigning and approving tasks in Box Relay, we confirmed that tasks are displayed in ascending order according to the order in which they were put into the Relay workflow personnel, not according to the processing date and time.

    We feel that the current specification, in which approved tasks are not displayed in time order, is not intuitive.
    We would like to see the order in which General Tasks and Approved Tasks are displayed sorted by the oldest processing date, or the ability to reorder them arbitrarily.

    Box Relayでタスクを割り当て承認を行った結果、
    タスクが処理日時の並び順ではなくRelayワークフローの担当者に入れた並びで昇順で表示されることを確認しました。

    承認タスクが時間の順に表示されない現行の仕様は直感さに欠ける仕様と感じます。
    一般タスクおよび承認タスクの表示順番を処理日時の古い順番に並べていただくか、任意で並び替えができる機能が欲しいです。

  17. Please improve the tasks upper limit 20,000.

    The following page says "Maximum number of Tasks per user: 20,000" and we know that if the number exceeds 20,000 tasks will no longer appear in the Tasks Inbox as an example.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695954-Adding-Comments-and-Tasks

    Please remove the upper limit or change it so that users can continue to use the Task after 20,000 without loss of convenience.

    (Japanese)
    下記のページに「ユーザーごとのタスクの最大数は20,000です。」とあり、20,000件を超えるとタスクの受信トレイにタスクが表示されなくなることを私たちは知っています。

    上限を失くす等、2万件を超えてもユーザーの利便性が損なわれずにタスクを利用できるように変更をお願いします。

  18. Bulk add users approval task

    Prologis uses approval tasks on a monthly basis to approve a specific dataset - 20 people need to approve it each month. They would like to have the ability to search people more easily when creating a new approval task, or duplicate the group of approvers more easily. It would be helpful if it was easier to add approvers in bulk - right now, when adding users in bulk, if the first signer approves, they can approve on behalf of the entire group.

  19. Ability to link the task function of MS Teams to the task function of Box

    Request a function that can link the task function of Box and the task function of Teams of M365.
    Specifically, I want to be able to manage tasks from the task function of Teams, although the content exists on Box.

    Currently, it is necessary to receive task notifications by e-mail, access BoxWeb and approve them, but by implementing this function, it is possible to receive and approve notifications at the same time, improving business efficiency.

    (Japanese)
    Boxのタスク機能とM365のTeamsのタスク機能を連携させることができる機能を要望します。
    具体的には、Box上にコンテンツが存在するにも関わらず、Teamsのタスク機能からタスク管理を行えるようにしたいです。

    現状では、タスクの通知をメールで受け取り、BoxWebにアクセスして承認する必要がありますが、この機能を実装することで、通知の受け取りと承認を同時に行うことができ、業務効率を向上させることができます。

  20. Register multiple people at once in the approval task

    If there are multiple approvers when creating an approval task
    I am registering each one now.
