Support for Multiple Upload Zones in Box Forms + Relay
Summary:
Enable the creation of multiple, distinct file upload zones within a single application or embed experience—for example, within a Box Doc Gen-powered form or workflow.
Details:
Today, applications built with Box’s Form capabilities typically support a single upload zone or file request area. This limits the ability to organize incoming files contextually during intake or data collection workflows.
We’re requesting support for multiple upload zones in the same app or form—each mapped to a different folder, metadata tag, or Doc Gen trigger.
Example Use Case – Box Doc Gen for Application Processing:
Imagine a form that uses Box Doc Gen to generate a PDF application. The process includes:
Zone 1: “Upload Supplemental Documents”
Applicant uploads income verification, letters of recommendation, etc.
Files are tagged or routed to a designated folder with metadata "doc_type = supplemental"
Zone 2: “Upload Copies of Records”
Applicant uploads prior case files or records
Files are routed with metadata "doc_type = records" or to a different subfolder
This could then change the views in Box Apps and other locations to trigger workflows.
