  1. 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.

    Hello 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,

  2. 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.

  3. 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 plus

  4. Create a group and then assign them tasks all at once

    When assigning a task we have to add each assignee one at a time. Can we create a group and assign all at once? I send off to 11 and Barbara has 18 names.

  5. Integrate Tasks with personnel systems like Active Directory, Workday

    We want to be able to create rules so that tasks can be assigned to specific individuals based on their reporting relationship. This would allow for a task to be assigned to the appropriate manager when any employee submits certain kinds of requests, perhaps with a file upload. The best way to do this would be with some kind of integration to the HR system of record.

  6. Retain user name in comment/ task even after user is removed.

    When user is removed, all comment/ previous will be display as "Anonymous User". For customer who rely on comment/ tasks it is confusing to keep track on which account posted what.

  7. Request Content Box Task Type

    Upload Content action needs to be optional, not required.My pretty hacky workaround now is for them to create a BoxNote or word doc that says "no content required" and link to that as the upload content step for now.

  9. Folder level comments and tasks

    Being able to comment or assign a task on an entire folder would be easier than @mentioning a user on one file and referencing 3 or 4 other ones. It would be helpful to assign a task to someone on an entire folder (and not leave that sort of information in the folder description).

    We understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap. We will be exploring improvements and enhancements to Tasks in the next 1-2 years and will take this into consideration when we do.

  10. Overdue task emails are too overbearing

    The overdue tasks emails come every day with no option to ignore/change preferences, so people end up ignoring them.

    We recently revamped our tasks notifications as part of the Tasks and Notifications release earlier this year. That said, we do not currently have plans to add a digest email or more granular preferences. Please share any additional feedback you might have, for consideration in a future release.

  13. Assign task to groups

    We would like to be able to assign task to specific groups. I.e. asking a whole team to acknowledge that they have seen a specific document.

  16. Ability to add/ remove task owner after task is created

    Once task is created it is not possible to edit the task owner. The only way is to recreate the task.
