  2. The 'Edit User' event does not show which parameter has been edited

    Any changes to a user that are displayed in the User Activity report or event log just display 'Edit User'. This means that changes such as name, email, device pinning, enable box sync, share contacts etc. just display as 'Edit User'.

  3. Limit the use of specific metadata templates to specific folders and specific user-owned content.

    When using metadata, it is important to gain the benefits of adding and managing metadata templates, but at present, anyone with authority can use any metadata template.
    You can manage your content more sophisticatedly by limiting the use of specific metadata templates to specific folders.

  4. tracking file activity by user

    Is there a way to schedule the user activity report (so we didn't have to wait for it to run)? It took our IT team 30+ minutes to run this for a report from just two weeks.
    Alternatively, are you able to improve your Microsoft Flow connector, so that we could be notified in Microsoft Teams whenever a file is previewed or downloaded; right now the connector that Box wrote for Microsoft Flow only supports the following triggers:
    - When a file is created
    - When a file is modified

  6. I would like to be able to see which user account is currently logged in on the PC using Box Drive.

    I would like to be able to check the currently logged-in user account on the PC where I am using Box Drive.
    Please make it possible for users to check this information themselves.

    I want the administrator to be able to check which user account is using which PC.

    This is necessary for proper user account management, so please consider this.

  7. filter the activity report with specific classification

    We want to get the activity reports for specific classification(just like specifying the folder).

    We need to audit user activities for confidential files every quarter. Current activity reports can only specify the user, date, folder and action, not classification.

  8. Ability to disable user from logging into Box.com for Salesforce Integrated

    For Salesforce Integration, provide a per user permission to disable user from logging directly into Box.com. Business Case is to keep users in Salesforce and use Box there only.

  9. Copy file from relay should version the target, not create a new file

    We have a release workflow, where documents are being copied to a shared environment after they have been approved. This works well for the first version of the document.

    However, if we change the document and send it through the approval process again, Box creates a new document at the target area. Box does NOT create a new version of the existing document.

    Since this process is really key to creating "Quality Managed" documentation, Box relay should offer to version an existing document. Defaulting to creating a new document, makes Box unusable for these kind of approvals.

  10. Notifications from Box Relay aren't very useful without linking back to the file or folder

    Relay is a great tool - but the Notifications aren't very useful. There is no way to link to the actual file or folder that is involved, so the user gets a very nebulous notification that is basically meaningless. Instead of being helpful, it could actually cause confusion for the user, if there are multiple activities happening at the same time.

    Please update this functionality! Thanks!

  11. Request for Additional Output Items in the User Details Report

    Could we enable the User Details report to include the user's registration date on Box? Specifically, we would like to propose adding a column titled "User Registration Date."

    This information is necessary for user management.
    Currently, we have to request this information from Box regularly.
    If we could verify it directly in the report, it would eliminate the need for inquiries to you.

  12. We would like to see the user name added to the search for workflows in BoxRelay in the admin console as a search target.

    We would like to see the user name added to the search for workflows in BoxRelay in the admin console as a search target.

    Currently, only the workflow name can be searched in the search window in the workflow list of the Management Console.
    When an administrator disables a user's workflow from the management console, It is very difficult to pick up the target user because the workflow can only be searched by workflow name.
    Adding the user name as a search target will make it easier for the administrator to specify a user and disable the workflow.

  13. Sharing a Collection

    I understand that collections are meant to be a user specific setting, however, it would be great to have the ability to share a collection with a co-worker.

  14. API) Add 'enterprise.id' to the collaboration user object.

    When retrieving the list of collaborators, we want to know whether each collaborator is an internal or external user, like in Box Web.

    The collaborators object does not include information to determine whether a collaborator is internal or external user. As a result, we have to call the Users endpoint, which increases processing time.

    API Call:
    GET https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations/:collaboration_id

    We would appreciate it if the EID could be included in the collaboration response to improve efficiency.

  15. View User Activity workflow

    When an admin triggers a policy they set up and receives an email alert, they click on "View Users Activity."

    This link navigates them to the reports landing page. Instead they would like to be routed to the user activity page that shows why the policy was triggered (i.e. shown information on User, Dates and # of downloads.)

  17. Admin Insight User Activity of Hubs

    We strongly request the addition of admin insights regarding user activity in the hubs. While we can see the number of people viewing each hub in the gallery, we lack detailed information about their engagement.
    Content insights(the contents in each hub) provide us with information about activities, but they are insufficient because not everyone who opens a hub previews each file.

  18. Custom Columns (with sort) in Files List (Kind, Metadata, Access Stats, etc.)

    The webapp defaults to showing the user 3 columns - Name, Modified, and Size.

    This request is to allow the user to customize which columns are shown -- i.e., show me the Name, Size, and Metadata field X columns, but nothing else. Or show me the Name, Modified, and Access Stats (Previews) columns.

    Example columns to choose from:
    -Name
    -Size
    -Kind (File Type)
    -Access Stats (Preview, Download, etc.)
    -Metadata (specific template/field)
    -Created Date
    -Updated/Modified Date
    -Description
    etc.

  19. User Details Report: Add "number of files owned"

    There is no item for the number of files owned.

  20. Target users for EMM mobile clients

    Currently if an organisation wishes to enable the Enterprise Mobility Management version of the mobile clients they have to enable it at a global level.

    We would like to be granular with this. We're a University and I want to enforce all staff users to use the EMM client but not students (their uni data is not considered "sensitive").

    Please can Box allow granular assigned of EMM users?

    In our use case we have just under 3,600 user who require EMM but 17,000 users do not.
