  2. Assigning tasks without previewing file

    When assigning a general or approval task, we must open the file itself and then add the tasks.

    There should be an option to just right click the file (on box.com) and have the ability to assign general/approval tasks from there instead of having to open each file.

  5. Update Rejected naming in the notifications

    Please stop writing "rejected" in the notification that comes back when the created approval task is rejected. I would like to see more options, such as "send back".

  6. Select multiple properties in files, and create interface like Spotify / Apple Music

    Hi Box support and community,
    France suggested I suggest here for the following ideas.

    Is there a way to make a selection of MP3 files all the same properties, ie. all end the same date, etc. ?

    Also, After making MP3 files, Can Box make a layout of music files like Spotify or Apple music ? I am working on placing my music on a WordPress site and want it to look similar and nice looking, since I already have those two services on the same webpage. (I hope so).

    These are the suggestions. I have these options through DistroKid,…

  7. Assign tasks through email address or user name

    Recommend reaching parody with the block that you put names into for a task assignment and the block you put names into for folder shares. Right now, for folder shares you can put a list of email addresses and it processes them to the appropriate people. For tasks, you need to enter each person by their username one by one.

  8. 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。

  9. provide a way to auto-check the 'Only one assignee is required to complete this task' checkbox

    This is when you are adding approval tasks to a document. If you forget to check this, it can lead to everyone in a group having to go in and approve the document before it can be completed.

  10. Updtating task.is_completed when rejected

    When a task is rejected, the task.iscompleted status doesn't get updated and remains "in progress". The taks.iscompleted stauts should get updated to "rejected" to differentiate from those tasks where there is effectively an assignment pending at least to complete the tasks.

  11. Have a largest textbox for messaging a task

    When I create an approval task, I have to deal with some information and currently I am limited by the window message wich is to short.
    So I prepare the text and copy/paste it but I have to adjust again because spaces disappeared.
    So it might be kind to have a largest window for seizing the message.
    Thank you.

  12. Task assigned to everyone in the folder

    We really would like to have the option to be able to assign the task to all members of a folder at once.
    Maybe with one tick in a box saying ASSIGN TO ALL in this folder.

  13. Launch a Task or Workflow From the File Menu

    In order to assign a task or start a workflow a user must preview a file. Adding the ability to launch a task or workflow from the file menu would cut down on time and steps and improve the user experience.

  14. Allow for templates in the task section

    Allow for a custom task templates to be created and saved so a team can complete multiple similar files with the same tasks vs. having to write new tasks every time.

  15. Your browser based video player is slow and doesn't always load files.

    video player is slow and at least 60% of the time I have to download a video because your website won't finish loading. It regularly gets hung up on the last 10% and will just sit there. This issue is destroying my productivity, and I am forced to download the files to my computer just so I can view them. My computer doesn't have infinite space, that's why we pay for your service.

  17. Lock file upon approval task

    It is often desirable that the file is locked when an approval task is set to ensure that the approval is given on the exact version of a document as it was when the approval was triggered. It would be useful to have the option to lock a file until the approval task has been approved or declined.

  18. Hi BOX Team, as we know, Lotus Notes Team Rooms supported and funded by GTS will be shut down.. Let's build a interface with IBM bluegroups

    IBM Bluegroups x IBM BOX .

    Many spreadsheet application today work with bluegroups and DB Notes to a great and automatic access management. With the new notice, DB's will be sunset and we want to migrate to BOX but BOX still dont have an interface with IBIM bluegroups, so all access need to be set manually. If an interface, all users will be set automatically and all access flow will be automatic.

    Example:

    IBM Access Hub or IBM OneTeam -> IBM Bluegroup -> IBM BOX

    This is be very helpfull for many users that need to have a repository control…

  19. Integrate Tasks with personnel systems like Active Directory, Workday

    We want to be able to create rules so that tasks can be assigned to specific individuals based on their reporting relationship. This would allow for a task to be assigned to the appropriate manager when any employee submits certain kinds of requests, perhaps with a file upload. The best way to do this would be with some kind of integration to the HR system of record.

  20. Overdue task emails are too overbearing

    The overdue tasks emails come every day with no option to ignore/change preferences, so people end up ignoring them.

    We recently revamped our tasks notifications as part of the Tasks and Notifications release earlier this year. That said, we do not currently have plans to add a digest email or more granular preferences. Please share any additional feedback you might have, for consideration in a future release.
