  1. Allow separate notification messages for task assignment and completion

    Currently, when creating a general or approval task, the same notification message is sent both when the task is assigned and when it is completed.
    As a result, recipients of the message can sometimes become confused.

    I would like the ability to set different notification messages for task assignment and task completion.


    〈タスク割り当て時と完了時の通知メッセージを個別に設定したい〉
    現在、一般タスクや承認タスクを設定した際、タスクの割り当て時と完了時の両方で、
    同じ通知メッセージが送信されます。そのため、メッセージの受信者が混乱してしまうことがあります。

    タスク割り当て時用とタスク完了時用で、それぞれ異なる通知メッセージを設定できるようにしてほしいです。

  2. Ability to change and update assignee on expired tasks

    We would like to see an improvement so that it is possible to delete and update users from "Modify Task" even for expired tasks.
    For expired tasks, pressing "Update" from "Change Task" will not respond, and the task cannot be edited.
    It is inconvenient not to be able to edit or update tasks, as tasks cannot be marked as completed when unauthorized users are absent due to leaving the company or being transferred.
    Also, although it is possible to update a task by extending its deadline, I would like to keep a history of when the task was created.
    There…

  3. Add a "View All Tasks" button to the left menu

    To view all tasks, you need to press the clipboard icon and then select "View All Tasks."
    It takes two clicks each time, which is very time-consuming.
    I would like you to add it to the left menu so that I can check all tasks with a single click.
    -in Japanese-
    すべてのタスクを確認するにはクリップボードアイコンを押してから“View All Tasks”を押す必要があります。毎回2クリック必要となるので非常に手間がかかっています。1回のクリックですべてのタスクを確認できるよう左メニューに追加してほしい。

  4. Tasks are visually cluttered by the bolded, capitalized document names. The task should be bolded and capitalized, not the document.

    The document from which the task arises is bolded and in all caps while the task itself is in normal, non-bolded font. This should be flip-flopped so the eye is drawn to the task, not the document.

  5. Enhance Task Management for High-Volume Users

    My team relies heavily on Box tasks, and we’ve found that the current functionality lacks robust filtering and sorting options. Beyond the basic status categories—In Progress, Completed, Approved, or Rejected—there are no meaningful ways to organize or prioritize tasks. This becomes especially challenging when managing a high volume of tasks. For example, our HR teammate regularly handles 50 to 100 active tasks at a time, and navigating them efficiently in Box can be clunky and time-consuming. It appears the task feature was not designed for this scale of use. I recommend enhancing the filtering, sorting, and organizational capabilities to better…

  6. Rejections on an approval task

    I want everyone who was assigned an approval task to still be able to record their decision after someone rejects the document. Right now as soon as one person rejects, the approval box is grayed out for everyone remaining and the task notification for those people is removed. Even though box sends out an email as well, most of my team only relies on the box notification center out of convenience.

  7. When multiple people are selected for an approval task, you can select the approval order.

    When multiple people are selected for an approval task, you can select the approval order.

    The task function is often used for document approval work, and there is a need to be able to set up a flow all at once so that documents are presented in order of higher rank, such as group manager > department manager > division manager, etc.
    Because an approval task needs to be set up each time something is approved, it takes time for approval to reach the person in charge if approval is not noticed quickly, resulting in reduced work efficiency.

    承認タスクで複数人を選択した場合、承認順を選択できるようにしたい

    タスク機能を資料の承認作業に使うことが多く、グループ長>課長>部長等役職の役職の高い人へ順に上程されるようなフローを一度に設定できるようにしたいというニーズがあります。…

  8. The message field for tasks will have suggestion functions and canned phrase input.

    The message field for tasks will have suggestion functions and canned phrase input.

    The information you need to fill out is basically the same, so it's a hassle to have to enter it every time.
    I'd like a feature that automatically suggests the most recently used message content in the form of options and allows me to save it as a standard phrase.

    タスクのメッセージ欄についてサジェスト機能や、定型文入力が欲しい

    記入する内容は基本的に同じ内容のものが多いため、都度入力するのは手間になっています。
    直近で利用したメッセージ内容を自動的に選択肢形式でサジェストしてくれたり、定型文として保存できる機能が欲しいです。

  9. Display deleted user name instead of Prior Collaborator name on the Activity Details

    Display the name of a previous commenter, approver or collaborator, even if the user has left the organisation. At the moment it just says 'a prior collaborator' and this is not helpful when retrospectively tracking why key business decisions were made.

  10. Give Box Relay more options

    Relay is weak at the moment when it comes to renaming files with very few variables supported when compared to rival storage apps.

    Adding the ability to do character replacement/removal in the filenames of assets or even using regex would greatly enhance the automation offered by Box and reduce the reliance on third party apps to rename files.

  12. Sort and Filter Feature within In Progress Tasks

    My team and I utilize the Task feature heavily and my Task Inbox becomes full. While I can currently filter down Tasks to "In Progress" I really would like to be able to sort my "In Progress" tasks further such as by due date and filter by task assignee.

  14. Box Task Inbox Filter to see only Tasks pending my action

    I use my Task Inbox all the time, and often receive Tasks with multiple assignees. It is frustrating when I can't filter out the tasks I have completed but that are still in progress pending action by someone else. Could you add a filter that would allow me to see only the Tasks pending action by me, that is separate from all tasks still in progress by any assignee?

  15. Automate task creation on newly uploaded files.

    This is a multi-part request: I would like to be able to automate task creation and I would like to incorporate SLAs based on document tags/folders/etc.
    Basically, I would like a task to generate automatically based on set rules (identified assignee(s), SLAs e.g "Due Date = X min/hours/days in the future" based on x SLA)

  16. Notification that someone you assigned a Task did not complete it by the deadline you set

    Often I assign Tasks with deadlines. While the person receiving the task gets notifications that the deadline is approaching, I do not get a notification if they did not complete the Task on time.
    This would be extremely helpful to know that Tasks have not been completed so we can follow up.

  17. Data Insights for Box Tasks

    I am looking for a way to see a matrix of box tasks for each member of my team with their status, completion, etc. for all members of my team. Ultimately a dashboard view that indicates the number of tasks received, approved, denied, completed, outstanding, and overdue. Alternatively, a data connection to Monday.com or PowerBi would assist in seeing where we are at individually and as a team.

  18. Show all uncompleted tasks on iPad

    Currently you can only check up to 20 tasks in the Box iPad app.
    However, when you are high up in the company, there are many tasks sent to you throughout the day and cannot see all the uncompleted tasks inside iPad.

    It would be great if you can increase the numbers of tasks shown or show all the uncompleted tasks on iPad too.

  19. When opening and zooming in on an Excel document saved in the Box app, the document closes frequently, making it difficult to use.

    I am using the Box app through my iPhone.
    There is one problem... It's serious for me personally (to the point where I gave up on the box app...)
    Open the Box app on your iPhone and open the Excel file saved inside.
    First, move your finger up, down, left, and right to view the material.
    However, since the screen is too small, I zoom in to view the document.
    To zoom in on a document, use two fingers or the fingers of both hands to zoom in or out.
    This is where the problem arises. When you zoom in…

  20. Slack notifications for tasks

    We cannot be getting task notifications on Slack Channel. Comment notifications to the Slack Channel have become very convenient, but if task notifications are also given, seamless communication will be possible and more convenient.
