Better Reporting Experience, Especially for Clients in Highly Regulated Environments
In general, I think Box Reporting needs to be an area for improvement. There should be more options for reports and more filters and ways to manipulate the reports in Box.
Something specific we would like to see is better reporting around Governance, especially with retention policies. We operate in a highly regulated environment where we needed detailed reporting around this information. There needs to be more granularity with reports, such as the Files and Folders report. We should be able to run a report that shows all root folders or be able to separate out folders and files. I've seen several ideas about being able to parse out subfolders as well.
For us to prove we are in compliance for data retention and destruction, we need a report that shows all content has a retention policy assigned. There's really no easy way to currently do this. I need to run the Folders and Files report for All Folders, but then generates multiple csvs that are just about too big to open. There are also limitations we are seeing with this report, where we know content has a retention policy assigned, the policy has been assigned for months and the content hasn't moved, yet on the report, it's not showing as having any retention.
Bottom line, Box Reporting needs to be better, more accurate, more real-time and just brought up to speed with the current times. And there needs to be more compliance related reports available as well. Thank you for your consideration.
