Improve to view the status of tasks
As users are currently able to view by icons whether or not shared link is on files and files are locked at a glance in the "file list" view, we would like to view if tasks are done or not at a glance

Task lifecycle should reside with the document, not the creator of the task
When a user assigns a task on a document, and then leaves the enterprise, the task is deleted from the document when the user is deleted.
The task is actually a part of the document's lifecycle, not the lifecycle of the user. If the content is owned by the enterprise, the termination of the user should not cause the task to be deleted.
Our use case is this:
Internal auditor gathers content and places it in Box
Internal auditor assigns a task to the Finance Director and CFO to review the content
Finance Director and CFO approve the task.

Customize frequency of task email notifications
Currently there are 3 emails when assigning a task.
-First email is when the task is assigned
-Second email is a reminder that the task is due (one day before)
-Third email is a reminder that the task is past due (one day after)I'd like to have the ability in the admin console to customize the frequency of these notifications. For example, I would like to send a reminder twice before the task is due (two days and one day before). Additionally, once the task is past due, send a reminder email every X amount of days until the…

Updtating task.is_completed when rejected
When a task is rejected, the task.iscompleted status doesn't get updated and remains "in progress". The taks.iscompleted stauts should get updated to "rejected" to differentiate from those tasks where there is effectively an assignment pending at least to complete the tasks.

Task assigned to everyone in the folder
We really would like to have the option to be able to assign the task to all members of a folder at once.
Maybe with one tick in a box saying ASSIGN TO ALL in this folder.2 votes -
Add a setting to prevent the "Add Task" from being displayed.
When we preview the file, on the right side of the screen, in the Activity column, we will see "Add Task".
However, there are times when we don't want our users to use the task feature.
Please add a setting to prevent the "Add Task" from being displayed.
For example, it would be nice if we could disable the task function in the folder settings.ファイルをプレビューした際、画面右側、アクティビティのカラムに「タスクの追加」とあります。
しかし、タスク機能をユーザーに利用させたくないことがあります。
「タスクの追加」を表示しないようにする設定を追加してください。
たとえば、フォルダの設定でタスク機能を無効にするなどできると嬉しいです。6 votes -
It would be great to have the ability to "brand" the splash page that is presented to users when they click on a "File Request" link

Have a largest textbox for messaging a task
When I create an approval task, I have to deal with some information and currently I am limited by the window message wich is to short.
So I prepare the text and copy/paste it but I have to adjust again because spaces disappeared.
So it might be kind to have a largest window for seizing the message.
Thank you.1 vote -
Create Relay Tasks based on dates defined in metadata
We would like to create tasks based on dates that have been assigned to the document through metadata. For example a task would be created on September 20 if that date was specified in metadata. We have several scenarios where documents "expire" and we need to renew them. These dates are variable based on when the original document is loaded into Box.
31 votesHello All,
We do not have this feature planned in short team and have this feature in the backlog for next year. We will consider this again next year and reach out for input and feedback.
Thanks,

Create a Task to provide a notification
Create a Task to provide a notification to a user. For example if a document has been moved, this Task would create a notification to Bob that the file has been moved. He shouldn't have to do anything with this or approve or complete it, just be notified.
25 votesThank you for the feedback. We do not currently have plans to add a “no action required” task type to our Tasks feature. That said, please continue to add use cases here, as we may consider in a future planning cycle.

Approval Task Message box
When creating an Approval Task, the message box could be bigger. When typing a comment that is more than one line and you want to review the message in it's in entirety, you have to use the up/down arrows . Make the message box either 4", or allow that box to be made larger from a corner (drag it bigger)

Ability to export Post history
Add ability to export Post history for Posts/Activities on a document in Box - e.g. collaborative and task Posts. Capability to capture an exported list (in excel or in a pdf) and have as a separate file gives the ability to capture important history information for the document of collaborative posts and assigned tasks, such as assignees, task completion dates/times, etc.

Notification on task assignment not supported in API
Currently there is no option to send a user an email notification when they are assigned a task via API. This is an unexpected gap, as an email will be sent when the task is assigned manually in the UI, and there are few indications that the same will not be true for programmatically assigned tasks.

Popup assigned tasks when users visit "All Files" page. Currently Box Task Center shows only number. To make it possible for a user to surely notice, popup is better.

Updates for Task Management
Task management should:
-Show a total number of tasks outstanding
-Have the ability to categorize tasks
-Have the ability to prioritize tasks
-Include summary of time elapsed since task assignment
-Always allow the user to check the task off, reject the task, or delegate the task to another
-Task list should ALWAYS be searchable
-Task lists should have the ability to have filters applied (age of task, assigned by, prioritization level, category, etc.)
-Task auto assignment based on adjustable rules would be a plus63 votesAdditional categorization and prioritization is not currently planned for our Tasks feature at this time. Please continue to leave feedback on use cases for consideration in future planning cycles.

Launch a Task or Workflow From the File Menu
In order to assign a task or start a workflow a user must preview a file. Adding the ability to launch a task or workflow from the file menu would cut down on time and steps and improve the user experience.
