  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Include item type in user activity report

    When running an User Activity report, the Item ID is included, but not the Item Type. If you're trying to use the Activity report to perform some other action, you have to figure out what the item type is before you can perform the action. Additionally as ?good practice? you should make check both file & folder to ensure that you're not going against the wrong actual item if there's a item with the same type on the other endpoint.

    It would save some significant time on report consumer's side if the item type was included in the output report.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Add a "User must pick from the lowest available level" option when adding a Taxonomy to a Metadata Template

    The existing options for "What level(s) can users select a value from?" have their use cases, but they do not cover all of the potential applications of the Taxonomy system.

    Right now, when I add a taxonomy to a metadata template, the options are "Users must pick from the following level: [level]", and "Users can pick from any level in the list". What I would like to propose is a third option, "User must pick from the lowest available level".

    The intent behind this would be to accommodate for Taxonomies where not every item…

  9. Split and transfer data to several users when the owner is deleted (including folder assignment)

    Hi,
    it would be nice if I could split the data of a user to be deleted among more than 1 other user.

    If, for example, a department head leaves the company and another head takes over the disciplinary part on an interim basis, but the technical issues are still mapped in the department, it makes sense to be able to separate the structures. We are currently transferring the disciplinary page manually.

    Best regards,

  10. 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.)

  11. Check the number of API calls from the developer console of the user who executed the App

    Platform report could be used to confirm API calls. But it requires authorities to export.

    Display the number of API calls in use for each app in the developer console to check if the number of API calls exceeds the limit.

  12. Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)

    When doing a move of a large folder or changing the owner of a large folder, users often receive a 'this may take some time' banner notification in the webapp, but that quickly disappears and the user is left wondering... "so...has it finished fully yet?"

    REQUEST: Have more indicators (progress bar, e-mail updates, etc.) of progress in the operation, especially for folder moves/ownership transfers.

    Example: In our mobile apps, we provide a 'job manager' that shows the user progress when they're performing various actions.

  13. Enable Box AI API for Specific Users or Groups

    Currently, the Box AI API can only be enabled or disabled for "all users" at once. To allow custom applications to use Box AI, we have to enable the API for every user in our tenant.

    However, it is difficult to estimate how many additional API Units we need to purchase, since we cannot predict how much each user will use the Box AI API. We are also concerned about users utilizing the AI API without proper authorization or oversight.

    Just like Box AI for Notes and Box AI for Hubs, we would like to be able to…

  16. Collaboration Whitelisting - Add Ability to Whitelist Specific External Users

    The Collaboration Whitelist feature is currently scoped to whitelist entire domains

    REQUEST: Take this current domain whitelisting a level deeper by only allowing certain users from a given domain to collaborate with ones own EID, aka introduce user-level external collaboration whitelisting controls to where a company can say "block all collaboration with all @acme.com users except for X @acme.com users"

  17. If a managed user triggers IP CAPTCHA, send an email notification to the enterprise's admin.

    If a user triggers CAPTCHA on an IP address, it could potentially impact many users if our account is NATing our IPs to one external IP.

    Typically this is caused by an end user saving a bad set of credentials into some kind of client (FTP or WebDAV) that is constantly trying to reconnect.

    This request makes sense, but this is not something that is planned for the foreseeable future.

    I will keep monitoring similar cases and prioritize once this becomes a high value request.

  18. Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report

    Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report.

    Sometimes previewing large Video files is not counted as "preview" in User Statistics Report.

    It should be counted.

  19. 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.
