  1. The "Invoices from box" folder where invocies are dropped can not be moved.

    For easier rights management and avoiding "shared folder" ****, we opted to have one shared folder across our company with sub-folders for each department.

    Said folder is shared with our accounting department.

    I moved the folder "Invoices from box" from my root folder to the accounting department sub folder but each month when an invoice is issued it appears again in my root folder.

    I propose that box.com remembers the folder ID of the "Invoices from box" folder and used that instead of the absolute path of the folder to drop their invoices.

  2. Please implement the ability for Admins to specify the folder to export to when exporting a report.

    In the course of our work, we sometimes share reports exported by Admin to users.
    Currently, this is handled by inviting users as viewers to the exported reports (folders).
    However, due to the need to share reports on a regular basis, a huge number of report folders are currently displayed on the user's "All Files" screen.
    These folders are expected to continue to grow, and users are already finding Box very difficult to use at this time.

    Please implement the ability for Admins to specify the folder to export to when exporting a report.

    業務の上で、管理者が出力したレポートをユーザーに共有することがあります。
    現在は出力されたレポート(フォルダ)にユーザーをビューアーとして招待して対応しています。
    しかし、定期的にレポートの共有が必要なため、現在は膨大な数のレポートフォルダがユーザーのすべてのファイル直下に表示されています。
    これらのフォルダはこのまま増え続ける見込みで、ユーザーは現時点で既にBoxを大変利用しづらい状況となっています。

    管理者がレポートを出力する際に、出力先フォルダを指定できるようにしてください。

  3. 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.

  5. Reflect the content requested by Box AI in the details column of the user activity report

    When using Box AI multiple times at the same time, the current report does not allow us to check the details of which request was made in the log.
    Therefore, we would like the function to be improved so that the details requested by Box AI are reflected in the details column.

    <Box AIで要求した内容をユーザーアクティビティレポートの詳細欄に反映する>
    同時刻に複数のBox AIを使用している場合、現状のレポートではどの要求をした際のログなのか詳細の確認が取れません。
    そのため、詳細欄にBox AIで要求した内容が反映されるように機能を改善してほしいです。

  6. Report export function for active/inactive status of file request links

    File request links, when created, edited, or deleted, appear in the user activity report, but not in the active or inactive status.
    We are considering asking users to deactivate them for security integrity or to force deactivation of those that have been inactive for a period of time.
    However, we cannot determine from the list of file requests in the management console whether all the information is visible.
    Without an export function, some links will remain inactive for long periods of time.
    To improve security and convenience, we request the ability to export activity and inactivity status.

    ファイルリクエストリンクは、作成、編集、または削除されると、ユーザーのアクティビティレポートに表示されますが、アクティブまたは非アクティブのステータスは表示されません。
    私たちは、セキュリティの完全性のために、ユーザーにそれらを非アクティブにするように依頼するか、一定期間非アクティブになったものを強制的に非アクティブにすることを検討しています。
    しかし、管理コンソールのファイルリクエストのリストから、すべての情報が表示されているかどうかを判断することはできません。…

  7. Folder reports for X level

    Add a report to the admin console that is only folders (can filter by owner and location) and contains a column for level so that admins can have visibility into content structures across their enterprise.

    (similar to the BC Folders by X Level report)

  8. Prompt to give choice to Abandon or Continue running a report when output is large

    Box Admin reports can, when selecting few filters, generate a large quantity of output - sometimes 200+ csv files for a single report.

    There should therefore be a 'pre-run' test in the background before the report begins generating, that checks to see if there would be more than (say)10x csv files created by the report if it were to begin with the current settings...

    If so (akin to when someone attempts to move a considerable amount of Box content), a prompt/popup should appear warning the user that there will be a large quantity of output, and giving user two choices,…

  10. I want to be able to distinguish between saved and non-saved reports on the "Report Status" screen.

    Currently, it is not possible to determine whether a saved report is being output on the "Report Status" screen, so you will need to check the "Repeat Interval" on the "Edit Schedule" screen each time.
    For example, if a saved report is being output, we would like to see the name of the saved report displayed in the "Memo" field on the "Report Status" screen.

    タイトル:「レポートステータス」画面上で保存済みレポート/保存済みレポートではない事を区別できるようにしたい

    現状「レポートステータス」画面上では保存済みレポートを出力しているのか判断できず、都度「スケジュールを編集」画面の「繰り返す間隔」を確認する必要があります。
    例えば、保存済みレポートを出力している場合は「レポートステータス」画面の「メモ」欄に保存済みレポートの名称を表示する等の表示の改善を希望します。

  11. file and folder tree report same-day request

    Allow real-time file and folder tree reporting as soon as files are uploaded. (Currently, I'm able to only request these overnight.) Leapfile, your competitor, allows for real-time reporting. Box should too.

  12. 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…

  13. Improve the UX when editing filters for a saved report

    When editing the filters on a saved report, it is difficult to review the data in the "Users and Groups" field as it is very squashed.

    Can you consider making this section larger so it is easier to view any users or groups included in the report. Or maybe have a button to export the list to a text file for easier viewing and modification.

  14. Request for improvement of Includes Subfolders feature in User Activity Report

    ( Japanese follows English)
    The support article is as follows, but I would like to request that the Includes Subfolders feature also works and outputs the data in “View” for the following two reasons.
    The report output screen does not show the fact that the feature does not work in “View”, so there is a possibility of misunderstanding.
    It takes longer to complete [Run] than [View],


    Warning:
    When the Includes Subfolders feature is on, the View option doesn't work - it doesn't pull events in the subfolders.

    ・[表示]では出力されないことがレポート出力の画面からは分からないので勘違いをする可能性がある点
    ・[表示]と比較して[実行]の完了までは時間が掛かる点

  15. Quickly get a list of folders with NO collaboratoins

    We have a few hundred abandoned/orphaned folders from people who left the enterprise, but did not transfer ownership of files. The folders were not deleted when the accounts were deleted. I could quickly delete quite a few of them if there are no collaborations--going by the logic that if there are no collaborations, there is nothing important in them and could easily be deleted since no one has missed the data for several years.

  16. 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.

  19. Ability to Name Scheduled Reports

    Add the ability to name the scheduled report. Currently the report is delivered as a csv file with the generic name of the report being run ie: "User Activity" and a date/time stamp. It would be very helpful to have the ability to type the name of the report so when it is delivered to me or my team the name is meaningful, and we readily know the content of the report. For example, if we have multiple reports scheduled, but they all arrive with the name "User Activity" we must open each one to determine what the content is…

  20. 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.
