Remove Filter option for Box Apps View
We have a use case where we want to restrict a view so that users can only see verified items in a view from a Box App. No matter how the App is shared, users are always able to change the underlying filters and see items that are not verified. It would be great if there was a setting in the view that turns off the ability for viewers to change the filters and only restrict to the visible filters. Image shows the filters we want them to be able to edit, the "All filters" is no required.

Kanban metadata view in Box Apps
As a user, I'd like to be able to map a metadata field to metadata view columns so that I can clearly manage content as part of my daily process.
Instead of my 'Status' field being one column with multiple values, I'd like to each value to be its own column e.g. Not Started, In Progress, Pending, so that I get a status-driven view of my content.

Allow Search Views to be built that search across more than one metadata template so that queries and conditions across metadata attributes from multiple templates can be used all in one view.

Filter on multiple text values in text data type
Currently, a metadata field needs to already be a multiselect to use the Match Any to allow form multiple match cases for a given metadata field. If the data type is a text field you and only match on one value.
Essential, we would like to be able to create an OR conditional match on multiple values for a text field when querying metadata in a Box App View.

Number fields uploaded as float with 2 decimal places do not display decimals if the digit is 0. Is there a way to format numbers to display as currency format #,###.##? Please add this feature especially useful for using in Box Apps.

More robust in-line editing for Box App views
Currently inline editing is limited to single select metadata values. It would be great if this could be expanded to other data types, especially multiselect and date.

Ability to invite external unmanaged users into Box Apps
We are requesting a new feature that allows external (unmanaged) users to be invited into Box Apps.
Use Case Example:
A law firm wants to share categorized legal documents with their clients through Box. Currently, Box Apps enable internal users to view and manage files with rich metadata, making it easy to organize and automate workflows. However, clients cannot access these metadata views directly. Customers should have the ability to view this structure and even work with it to launch automations and processes, as well as search their documents more easily.7 votes -
Add Content-Disposition to Access-Control-Expose-Headers
The Download endpoint returns a content-disposition header with file name however Content-Disposition is not part of the Access-Control-Expose-Headers, therefore the file name cannot be derived by frontend javascript applications.
Adding Content-Disposition to Access-Control-Expose-Headers will allow frontend applications to access the file name of the content.

locked pdf files can be overwrote from web based pdf viewer
When you fill out a pdf form in the pdf web viewer you are able to bypass the lock and save the filled out form overtop of the locked pdf. This seems like a design flaw since it allows users to overwrite pdf templates with forms data. I would like to see the lock functionality extended to include pdf’s opened with the web app.

Docsend Features
Hi Team, someone at RH brought to my attention a service from Dropbox called DocSend. It has many security features that Box already offers, but a notable highlight is the ability to track how long someone views a document and provides analytics on the time spent on specific pages.
Can Box add a similar feature? I would like our staff to stay on a unified platform and not need to open a Dropbox account.1 vote -
More items at a time on a file View in Box Apps
Allow for more items on a dashboard view - up to 250 per page or a continuously loading selection as I scroll down would be ideal.

The location filter overrides the file type filter in Box Apps
When using the location filter in a Box App, the File Type filter (where you can select if you want folders and what file type) stops working. We use cascading metadata on some folders as well as nested folders for organization.
When we pull all cases together in a Box App we want to remove the folders from the view because they are not relevant. This is fine until we want to further filter using the location and then all the folders are returned as well.

'Does not contain' filter for name field in Box App
We would like to be able to exclude content from a Box App view using a 'does not contain' operator. This would help us to narrow down content that is returned in a view.
