  2. Select multiple folders as the location filter for Views in Box Apps

    I would like the ability to select multiple folders as the location filter for Views in Box Apps. For example, I may have a project folder with a metadata template cascading to all subfolders, but I only want to see content from 2 out of the 3 subfolders in the View.

  3. Enhancing View Visibility with Text and Background Customization

    I received feedback from a customer regarding improving visibility within views.

    They specifically requested the following enhancements:

    ・Ability to adjust text size
    ・Ability to change text color
    ・Expanded background color palette, including darker color options

    These improvements would allow users to better tailor the interface to their preferences and working environments (e.g., long working hours or dark mode setups).

    In views with a high density of information, visibility directly impacts productivity, so we believe this would be a valuable enhancement.

    =============

    顧客からのフィードバックとして、ビューの可視性向上に関する要望をいただきました。

    具体的には、以下の点の改善を希望されています:

    ・テキストサイズを調整できる機能
    ・テキストカラーを変更できる機能
    ・背景色のカラーパレットの拡張(特にダークカラーの追加)

    これらの機能により、ユーザーごとの視認性や利用シーン(例:長時間の作業やダークモード環境)に応じた柔軟な表示が可能になると考えています。

    特に、情報量の多いビューにおいては視認性が業務効率に直結するため、ぜひご検討いただきたいです。

  4. Remove Filter option for Box Apps View

    We have a use case where we want to restrict a view so that users can only see verified items in a view from a Box App. No matter how the App is shared, users are always able to change the underlying filters and see items that are not verified. It would be great if there was a setting in the view that turns off the ability for viewers to change the filters and only restrict to the visible filters. Image shows the filters we want them to be able to edit, the "All filters" is no required.

  5. Execute Relay against document in App view

    As a user, I'd like to be able to assign a manual start Relay workflow to a Box App view so that I can trigger a workflow against a document by clicking a button e.g. specify initial approver and then execute workflow

  6. Right click on a piece of information displayed on an Apps view in order to be able to copy it directly

    It would be extremely helpful to be able to right click and copy information directly from a Box Apps grid view.

    This will help us to easily paste into an external system and also into the Box search app we have created to look for the actual documents being requested.

  7. The maximum number of Platform apps that can be registered should be increased.

    Currently, the maximum number of approved Platform apps is limited to 100.
    If we create an app for each affiliated company within the tenant, 100 is not sufficient.
    We would like the maximum number of Platform apps that can be registered to be significantly increased.

    (In Japanese)
    現在、アプリの登録上限は100件までですが、テナント配下で組織ごとにアプリを作った場合、足りなくなる可能性があります。
    登録できるPlatformアプリの数をもっと増やしてほしい

  8. Shift Click select for multiple files in Box App

    In an ordinary folder in Box, you are able to select one document using the 'cube' and hold shift on your keyboard and select another document down the list and it will auto select everything in-between.

    This functionality is not present in Box Apps. Adding this functionality would make it quicker and easier to edit metadata and download documents from a subset of an app view as well as unify behavior between Box Apps and the rest of the Box Web App.

  9. Kanban metadata view in Box Apps

    As a user, I'd like to be able to map a metadata field to metadata view columns so that I can clearly manage content as part of my daily process.

    Instead of my 'Status' field being one column with multiple values, I'd like to each value to be its own column e.g. Not Started, In Progress, Pending, so that I get a status-driven view of my content.

  10. Multiple Metadata Template Search Views

    Allow Search Views to be built that search across more than one metadata template so that queries and conditions across metadata attributes from multiple templates can be used all in one view.

  11. Filter on multiple text values in text data type

    Currently, a metadata field needs to already be a multiselect to use the Match Any to allow form multiple match cases for a given metadata field. If the data type is a text field you and only match on one value.

    Essential, we would like to be able to create an OR conditional match on multiple values for a text field when querying metadata in a Box App View.

  13. ability to format number field in metadata display to show fixed number of decimal places and commas

    Number fields uploaded as float with 2 decimal places do not display decimals if the digit is 0. Is there a way to format numbers to display as currency format #,###.##? Please add this feature especially useful for using in Box Apps.

  14. More robust in-line editing for Box App views

    Currently inline editing is limited to single select metadata values. It would be great if this could be expanded to other data types, especially multiselect and date.

  15. Ability to invite external unmanaged users into Box Apps

    We are requesting a new feature that allows external (unmanaged) users to be invited into Box Apps.

    Use Case Example:
    A law firm wants to share categorized legal documents with their clients through Box. Currently, Box Apps enable internal users to view and manage files with rich metadata, making it easy to organize and automate workflows. However, clients cannot access these metadata views directly. Customers should have the ability to view this structure and even work with it to launch automations and processes, as well as search their documents more easily.

  16. Assign user to item in Box App

    As a user, I'd like to be able to assign a specific user in Box App rather than relying on free text or metadata drop down fields so that I can send a notification or task and see additional user information such as email and profile photo

  18. The location filter overrides the file type filter in Box Apps

    When using the location filter in a Box App, the File Type filter (where you can select if you want folders and what file type) stops working. We use cascading metadata on some folders as well as nested folders for organization.

    When we pull all cases together in a Box App we want to remove the folders from the view because they are not relevant. This is fine until we want to further filter using the location and then all the folders are returned as well.

  19. 'Does not contain' filter for name field in Box App

    We would like to be able to exclude content from a Box App view using a 'does not contain' operator. This would help us to narrow down content that is returned in a view.

  20. Download all files from view

    Currently, you are only able to download the files visible in a view. If there are more than 25 files you want to download, you need to complete multiple batches. If you have a folder with 500 items in it, you can download the whole folder.

    We would like to see an option where you can export all files in a view like you can with a folder so specific information can be aggregated across our environment and retrieved via a Box App
