  1. Records Retention Functionality

    This is a very old idea that should available for Box users. Dealing with real records retention not retention policies as currently used in Box. Records/Document retention deals with the management of information thru its lifecycle - Records/documents are created, used, store, archived, kept permanently (for administrative, legal, fiscal, and historical reasons) or destroyed. Currently, there is no way to apply records retention rules or schedules to Box, which means that we are only dumping content instead of managing the content based on its value - based on a company's records retention schedules. Why not put together a group of…

  5. File Checker

    I would like my program to be able to access all .pdf files in a given folder, and read them to find and extract specific information on each .pdf document like scraping the text data in each of the .pdf fields. This data would then be used to compare to an excel spreadsheet.

    This would essentially be a file checker. Making sure that the information entered on a .pdf file is the information that we have on a separate excel spreadsheet.

    Thoughts?

  6. Feedback/Comments in App

    After workflow is complete, add any comments left during Relay template as comments on the document/metadata to allow the feedback to be more easily tracked.

  8. Allow for in-line document edits for Approve/Reject step

    We want the ability to actually edit the document (not just provide comments in preview pane) as part of an Approve/Reject step. Rather than having an edit step followed by Approve/Reject we would like to accomplish with one task - the key is they'd like to be able to provide edits inline and reject it back to a certain step in the workflow. On some occasions they would also make edits and approve

  10. The feature to delete completed/cancelled workflows

    User can delete the workflow template, but there is no option to delete workflows that have been completed/cancelled. Over time, the number of those can grow, and so customer should be given option to delete or hide some of those.

  12. Template Version History

    We would like to have a history of changes made to templates so if they modify one they can revert back if needed or have a record of who changed what/when - one use case is for compliance templates they need insight in to who created/when but also iterations of the template

  15. Select which email notifications you receive by Template or Workflow

    We would like to be able to select notifications for Relay the same way we can in Box (by account settings or by folder/subfolder)

    For example: I am a process owner for an assets approval template. I want to be notified of all actions in this one but none in my other workflows

    For example: I want to be assigned of only comments from feedback in this workflow vs all task completions in another

  16. Have a minimum number of rejecters to move a workflow back a step

    With Relay it's possible to set the process so that only 1 reviewer of 3 needs to approve to move to the next step.

    However, if 1 of those 3 reviewers rejects the expenses, Relay currently requires the other 2 reviewers to also reject to move the process back a step.

    It'd be helpful for these use-cases to have the ability to set minimum required rejecters

  18. The owner of relay intermediate workfolder should be changed to Tenant Primary Admin.

    Summary:
    After a relay workflow is completed, the intermediate working folder remains without being deleted.
    For the folder, the Primary Administrator does not have "owner" permission so he can't delete the folder.
    For the folder, the normal user(who kicked the workflow) has "Co-owner" permission so he can call any external collaborator.

    Request:
    After the workflow is completed,
    - The owner of relay intermediate workfolder should be changed to Tenant Primary Admin.
    - The permission for the user(who kicked the workflow) should be changed to the less permission which can't call other collaborators.
