  3. Need report on just first level folders and collaborators and last edit date

    Use Case: We need a way to filter the file and folder tree report before running to slim it down to show only folders.

    We're doing an audit of our confidential folders called data rooms and need this data.

    We released an improvement to the Groups UI to allow the full group and folder names to be displayed. Long group and folder names will now wrap to subsequent lines so you will not have to hover over each group or folder name to view the full name.

  5. Shared Link Details: Add 'Date Created' Column

    The Shared Link Details report is a great report currently that provides admins a wealth of information when performing an 'inventory' or security review of all existing shared links.

    One additional column that would be very helpful to include is a 'Date Created' column that would provide a date entry for each shared link. This information is currently reported in Usage Logs, but is essentially impossible for an admin to correlate between the Shared Link Details report and the Usage Logs export for 'Item Shared' entries.

    Add a 'Date Created' column to the Shared Link Details report.

    This would be…

  7. Change messaging when the target for a data move is invalid

    When data is attempted to be moved to an account that is inactive, the error says "something went wrong. User requests that the error say more about why the transfer cannot occur.

  8. Make it easier to filter events that occurred in a particular folder (including subfolders)

    Use Case:
    - There's a parent folder with multiple levels of sub folders.
    - This parent folder is shared out to a group or some external collabs
    - Parent folder's owner wants to know how many downloads have happened from the parent folder

    Currently, seems like there's two ways to do this but neither are scalable or easy to do if the folder tree is complex:

    Option 1:
    Run Usage Logs on all download events over the given time period
    Export the report
    Use Excel or some other program to filter off of the "Contained in folder" column
    This requires…

  9. When a user downloads a folder, the admin would like the individual files shown as downloaded in the access stats reports

    Currently if you download a folder, the report will only show the user downloading a folder, not the individual files iwthin the folder. The client would like to know exactly what was downloaded as the content of a folder can change in it lifetime

  11. Allow group admins to search for all managed users

    Currently, group admins can add any managed user into their group, but searching for users will not auto-populate unless the user is already in a group that they manage.

  14. Group Admin - Customizable Permissions

    Currently the Group Admin role is an all or nothing option, which, for some, provides far too many permissions (instant log in, etc.).

    Just like Box has customizable co-admin roles, Group Admin permissions should be split out in the same way.

  15. Collaborations Report: Add User Filter (same as Usage Logs)

    Add ability to filter (like on Usage Logs) before running the report to avoid having to pull the report for all users (which takes quite a while as we know), then filter down in Excel.

    Two Key Filter-able Options:
    --Filter by Managed User
    --Filter by Folder by choosing user -> choose folder OR by searching for folder name

    The Collaborations report is basically unusable as a large company due to the size of the report that's generated -- it's not scalable for us to have to pull the report for all users and filter down in Excel.

    This information already exists in the Collaboration report. This report lists collaborations (managed and external users) on folders owned by that enterprise. Collaboration type is also called out so you can tell if the user is managed, external or if they have access via a group.

  17. Export Users - Use standard storage metric in managed user export report

    The "Storage Use" column in the Admin Console uses various metrics (B, KB, MB, GB, etc.), which prevents them from sorting to see which users have the most storage, least storage, etc.

  18. Job Manager - Show status of which report exports are 'in progress'/'generating'

    Many times when admins export a report from the Admin Console, the report doesn't instantly post to the Box Reports folder, so the admin is stuck in a limbo of continually checking the Box Reports folder to see if the file has been uploaded yet.

    Request: provide a 'Job Manager' status page that shows all reports that are currently being generated along with the option to subscribe to an email alert once the report has actually been generated.

  19. Export Users - Add 'Email Aliases' Column (Allow Admins to Export/Report on Email Aliases)

    If an admin wants to view users' email aliases (non-primary email addresses in Box), they must look at each user individually since there is no current export or reporting functionality that includes email aliases.

    'Export Users' refers to the button located in Admin Console -> Users & Groups -> Managed Users.
