  2. heatmap

    Would love a heatmap report/feature that shows how often particular folders (or files) are accessed (over a specific timeframe). This way you could quickly identify folders/data you may not need to keep any longer. This would allow you to identify folders storing stale or useless data that could be cluttering up everyone's view. You could tie this into policies that could auto-delete/archive folders that have not been accessed within a certain time frame.

  3. User activity on some days only (like saturday and sunday)

    Would it be possible to run the activity report and select some days in the week ?
    It could be interesting to see the activity during the week-end (saturday and sunday), so we can see if it's normal or not.

  5. Pulling file-level user activity reports in bulk

    I am trying to run a user activity report in Box. What I am hoping to see is which users accessed a set of files during a certain period of time.

    I ran the User Activity report in Reports against the parent folders that I was hoping to review, the activity log that came back only shows actions taken on the parent folders, no activity is shown for any of the files within the folders.

    Support has confirmed that there is no way to run this report against the sub-folders and sub-files of the folders selected.

    Having this functionality is…

  6. I like to be able to see on the "Saved Reports" screen whether scheduled report is still active.

    Currently, the "Report Status" screen does not allow you to determine whether a saved report is enabled for regular output, so you must check the "End Date" on the "Edit Schedule" screen, which requires some work.
    I would like to see the display improved so that it is easier to understand that regular output is enabled on the "Saved Reports" screen.

    タイトル:「保存済みレポート」画面上で現在も定期出力が有効になっているかわかるようにしたい

    現状「レポートのステータス」画面では保存済みレポートの定期出力が有効なのか判断出来ず、「スケジュールを編集」画面の「終了日」を確認する必要があり、ひと手間かかります。
    「保存済みレポート」画面上で定期出力が有効になっている事をわかりやすくなるような表示の改善を希望します。

  7. I would like the "Shared Link Report" to display information about the issuer of the shared link

    Currently, the "Shared Link Report" does not output information about the issuer of a shared link, so you will need to check this in the "User Activity Report."
    It is very inconvenient to have to print out two reports each time, so we would like to request an improvement to the functionality so that information about the issuer of the shared link is also displayed in the "Shared Link Report."

  8. A list of users who have sent "email to all" in a report.

    The "Email All" function on the collaborator list screen on the folder screen allows you to check which user sent what message and when in the "User Activity Report", but it does not allow you to check which user the "Email All" was sent to.
    I understand that "Email to all" cannot be sent to users with pending invitations or when there are more than 500 collaborators,
    but when there are a large number of collaborators, it is difficult to know how many users are pending, and checking the "Collaboration Report" takes time.
    In addition, there may be cases where…

  9. Report on Metadata Cascade

    There is currently no way to generate a report via the admin console that indicated if a metadata template is set to cascade. A folders and files report can show what metadata is applied, but the only way to know if it cascades it to navigate to the folder in the webapp, run API queries, or intuit it by inspecting sub-files/folders to if if the value cascaded.

  10. Ability to filter by external user on the UAR

    Now that external user information is included in the user activity report (UAR) it would be great to have the ability to filter the report to just that one external user. We'd like the ability to filter by the external user's email address, just like we can with managed users. For large enterprises, running an open UAR leads to a very large report that takes time to sort and filter. The ability to filter to a specific user saves a ton of time.

  11. Rename 'include subfolders' switch in User Activity report to 'include activity within subfolders'

    There has been some confusion, as not enabling this switch still includes activity directly impacting the subfolders that sit in the parent level.

  12. justification report

    Reporting on Justification.
    When you have a policy that can be overridden by justification, we would like to be able to report on which user invite external collaborators by using which justification, so we can filter it quickly and ask the user when necessary for audit purposes.

  13. User Activity report to filter Sign activity by folder

    When running the User Activity report for Sign activity, you cannot apply the folder parameter. If the folder parameter is used, then the report will generate empty since Sign activity is reported at the "enterprise level" instead of the "folder level."

    Requesting that this report allows the folder parameter to pull Sign activity to prevent the need to manually filter the report post-export.

  14. Ability to display groups on a single line in the Collaboration Report

    The Collaboration report shows duplicate information for the same user if the user belongs to more than one group or if the individual and group collaborate on the same folder.
    As part of the inventory, we want to extract the access rights set for a folder, but it is inconvenient if user information is output in duplicate.
    When accessing a folder and viewing the collaboration information directly, the group is specified to be displayed on a single line.
    Please create an option to display them on a single line for reports as well.

    In Japanese:
    コラボレーションレポートでは、ユーザーが複数のグループに所属している場合や、
    個人とグループで同じフォルダにコラボレーションしている場合、同じユーザーの情報が重複して表示されます。
    棚卸の一環として、フォルダに設定されているアクセス権の抽出をしたいが、ユーザー情報が重複して出力されると不便です。
    フォルダにアクセスしてコラボレーション情報を直接見る際は、グループは一行で表示される仕様です。
    レポートの場合も一行で表示させるオプションを作って下さい。

  15. allow for setting schedule for a report that's been run (and saved) once

    Hi

    an (easily implemented?) suggestion: when a file report is saved and run once, it seems that it can not be easily re-run on a schedule - one has to create a completely new report and set the schedule from the start. This is not ideal - I like to test things out before I commit to a schedule. Can you allow admins to set/change the schedule for a saved report even though the original saved report is a one-off/manually run?

  16. Add information about deleting tasks to the User Activity Report

    If a task is accidentally deleted, the current User Activity Report can't see who deleted what task and when.
    There is currently no way to check if the deleted task was really unnecessary.
    We would like to see more items related to the task function in the User Activity Report so that administrators can see who deleted what tasks and when.

    【タスクの削除に関する情報をユーザーアクティビティレポートに追加する】

    タスクが誤って削除された場合、現在のアクティビティレポートでは、
    誰がいつどのようなタスクを削除してしまったか確認できない。
    削除されたタスクが本当に不要なものであったか、現状では確認する術がないため、
    誰がいつどのようなタスクを削除したか、管理者が確認できるよう、
    アクティビティレポートのタスク機能に関する項目を増やして欲しい。

  18. Admin Console Collaborations Report - Offer ability to filter by one External User, rather than all users

    Admin Console Collaborations Report - Offer ability to filter by one External User, which is faster, rather than pull data for all users, which can take way too long.

  20. Allow the custom renaming of a report before it's run

    All the reports have a standard name (i.e. useractivityrunon2022-11-01-14-38-28Page1) and there is no ability to create a custom name. As an admin we run more than a single report in an hour and that report may be associated with a user or file name we're searching for. We need the ability to be able to customize the report name that is relevant so we don't have 5-10 reports running that all start with useractivityrunon{date and time} for example.
