  1. Edit User - Add 'Device Name' and 'Device ID' to Installed Applications Section

    The 'Installed Applications' section when editing a user on the Managed Users page currently only shows Application Type (e.g., iPhone) and Install Time.

    This is problematic when a user has multiple devices (e.g., two entries for iPhone or 2 entries for Sync due to being logged in on more than one device).

    Box already tracks Device Name and Device ID in the export of Usage Logs for 'Add Device Association', so Box should also expose this information on the Managed Users page.

    REQUEST: Add 'Device Name' and/or 'Device ID' column to 'Installed Applications' section when editing a user on the…

    not planned  ·  katiele responded

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We may revisit adding new functionality to the Installed Apps section with more customer requests for this data.

  2. Send a notification sent to user's when their password is about to expire.

    We use read only sync as a primary use case. Because users do not log into the webapp, they are not aware when their password expires and files are not being synced.

    Thank you for this request!

    We will review this with additional demand.

  3. Custom messages, settings and language depending on geography.

    We need a different trash setting to the global instance due to european law.

    We would also like to push different messaging, welcome screens, languages to dependent on regions for adoption purposes.

    This is not currently planned on the roadmap. The suggested workaround is to manage different users in different EID.

  4. More granular setting options for users set to "Inactive" in the Admin Console

    We would like two sub options for accounts set to "Inactive" status in the Edit User Profile details (in addition to the existing Inactive setting behavior):

    Inactive sub-option 1: Enable a warning for all existing shares and collaborations that the Inactive user owns. If another user is accessing a folder owned by the Inactive user, they should be informed that the content could be deleted with the deletion of the account, and that a copy should be taken quickly.

    Inactive sub-option 2: Enable a warning AND make content read-only for all existing shares and collaborations that the Inactive user owns.…

    This is a good use case, but other user statuses might partially solve some of these needs. Let us know in the comments if it does not.

  5. Dashboards - Enhanced (and Exportable) Dashboards in Admin Console

    This request is for enhanced dashboards inside the Admin Console, specifically:
    1. Exportable dashboards
    2. Customizable - add options to choose custom date ranges, etc.
    3. Allow for a 'double click' into the charts to see far more information - for example, don't just show me the top 5 users by storage total (like we do now) -- also allow me to 'double click' on that chart to see my top 100 or 500 even.

    We intend to improve the Insights dashboard to provide more interactivity and customization. We will be working on the prerequisites to enable those improvements this year and will revisit these suggestions once they have been completed.

  6. Report: Number of users using Sync

    This is available for the CSM, but not for the admin to run themselves.

  7. Add or modify accepted invite action so that an admin can easily see all folders that a user has auto-accepted

    If a user invites a set of users that has auto-accept invites on, the action the invitation shows up under is >Auto accepted collaboration invite<. You cannot search for the user that accepted it. This action shows under the user that invited the collaborator.

    However, if the user does not have auto-accept on, it shows up under both >invited collaborator< and >accepted invite.<

    Basically, if a user does not have auto-accept on, it is easy to find accepted invite and what folders they manually accepted. If a user has auto-accept on, there is no way to search for them easily…

  9. Ability to report on files moved from managed enterprise folder to external collaborator folder

    Show when content is moved out of a folder managed by the enterprise into another folder managed by an external collaborator. We would like to at least see the Move event surfaced in the audit logs.

  10. Add Metadata Template name to Details column for Metadata > 'Edit attributes' action

    Currently, when you run a report for Metadata > 'Edit attribute' you cannot see the metadata template whose attribute was changed. This makes the action much less useful to an admin.

    For example, if there were 2 metadata templates plus a classification policy on a file, and an attribute value in one of those templates were changed, it would be impossible from Usage Logs to see which template an attribute was actually changed.

    This information is already exposed in the Enterprise Event.

  16. Usage Logs - Allow Viewing in UI Beyond 1 Year Timeframe

    Currently, Usage Logs are only available in the Admin Console UI for 1 year, but 7 years via Admin Console export.

    REQUEST: Allow viewing Usage Logs in the UI for as long as they're able to be exported (i.e., 7 years).

  17. Update user endpoint to allow admins to retrieve a list of all unconfirmed users

    Currently, admins cannot retrieve a list of all users whose primary email addresses are not confirmed. Admins may get confused if they try to edit a user whose primary address is not yet confirmed, as this currently triggers a permissions/403 error.

  18. Correct log when a user creates an item in Box

    Currently, "Uploaded" and "Downloaded" are logged when a user creates an item like Word document, Box Note etc.

    However, it should be logged as "Created".

  19. Usage Logs - Indefinite Timeframe for Retrieval (Extend Current 7 Year Limit)

    Currently Box Usage Logs are retained by Box for 7 years. Box customers can export up to 7 years worth of Usage Logs from the Box Admin Console.

    As a customer, I want that 7 year limit to be raised to 'indefinitely,' meaning we can pull Usage Logs for actions taken at any point in time, not just the past 7 years.

    REQUEST: Remove 7 year limit for Admin Console Usage Logs exports.

  20. Display Collaboration Invite as account Creator in Daily User Account Creation Summary Email.

    Admin for enterprise is requesting to add Collaboration Invite as an account creator in Daily User Account Summary Email and Report's display results online.

    Admin received Daily User Account Summary email and it did not display the creator of some accounts within the email. It was represented by "--" in the field.

    The Admin ran a report and the results were the same when displayed within the window.

    Only when the user exported the report were they able to see that the accounts were created through a collaboration invite.
