Customize notifications (frequency and timing) for tasks on Relay workflows
A key piece of any ECM system is being able to control when and how often a user is notified about a task based on the severity of the workflow. If an approval is required for a mission critical business process that is time sensitive then the creators of the workflow need to be able to create urgency with the notifications in Relay. If this workflow is low priority and they don't want to "cry wolf" then they should be able to customize that it is low priority and maybe on need to be notified once a week etc.
3 votesWith scheduled workflows, you can now schedule a workflow that has a send notification outcome.

Add uploader role to box relay auto-start workflows
When you auto-start based on someone uploading or saving to a directory, that workflow should take into account the person who did that - the uploader role. For instance, in a workflow that has a gather feedback and incorporate step, that should be automatically assigned to the uploader not the workflow owner. In general the workflow owner is not a very useful role - it's just the person who happened to write the template - the workflow owner may have no stake in the workflow instances whatsoever. The uploader is a natural role that is missing.
8 votesWe released the ability to assign any task to the “workflow starter”, the person who performed the file action.

Allow concurrent workflow steps
Currently, if a step in a user's workflow needs to get a response from multiple parties concurrently, this is not possible. For example, sending out marketing materials to multiple agencies at the same time and waiting for a response from all. At the moment, we would have to make this sequential whereby the second agency would receive a task only when the first agency has completed one.

Color code folders when selecting a destination folder
Right now when you select a destination folder as the last step it doesn't color code external folders (grey) so the end user could accidentally send the document in another instance.
5 votesWe are moving to the Box file picker, so this should be addressed in that.

Improve search and filtering in Templates view
We have many many templates and it's hard to find my own! It would be most beneficial to include some sort of "metadata search" - like search by owner, in fact (most obvious use case).
2 votesReleased the revamp of the templates page so that you can find the template you own easier. We will do more searching and filtering later in the year. If that is as important, please submit a new ticket! Thank you!

When two approvers are to complete task, it needs to be approved by both in order to move to next step
Would be good to have the option to have one out of the two to approve, completing the workflow

Increase Automations limit to 2,000
We use Box workflow automations for all of our accounts payable processes with our clients. There are nine distinct processes that require workflows, so that means nine workflows per client. We have over 100 clients, so we are almost at 1000 workflows already.
Whenever we bring a new client on board, we automatically create nine new workflows.

Set content uploader as the workflow owner for auto-start templates
For workflows that are set to auto-start upon content upload, you currently have to set a specific user as the workflow owner in the template. It would be helpful to have the content uploader become the workflow owner in some scenarios.
For example, employee onboarding - I want the workflow owner to be the hiring manager that uploads their new hire's checklist, rather than a set person in HR.
