  3. Export Control (ITAR/EAR) support by Box Shield (Increase the maximum number of Shield Classifications & Applying a classification label to

    In the case of having global offices/teams, contents related to Export control are dispersed globally. However, the contents need to be in compliance for Export control.
    The following two enhancements work well for supporting ITAR/EAR with dispersed contents in one Box entity:
    1. Increase the maximum number of Shield Classifications - There is a limitation Classification (it's 25) now. To create combination label via country-base for ITAR/EAR, it requires a larger number of classifications.
    2. Applying a classification label to a specific group - this ability is required to support large number of Classification (above enhancement).

  4. Allow @ mentions in NetSuite Integration

    The NetSuite integration does not currently allow for @ mentions to work in Box. It would be very helpful to allow NetSuite Box widget users to collaborate this way, instead of having to send an email, slack, etc. to the intended collaborator.

    Note- I believe this is because of how NetSuite to Box handles provisioning; NetSuite only checks with Box for a user's permissions when the user is trying to access content. In this use case, the intended collaborator is not signed in at that point and @ mentions only are allowed when they are collaborated into the…

  5. Allow Searching by Last Name - Invite Collaborators / Email Shared Link / Comment @Mentions

    In the Invite Collaborators modal (and other locations such as the Comment composer), Box's autocomplete feature only allows the user to search by either email address and/or first AND last name.

    Meaning for user John Doe with email jdoe@box.com, a search for...
    --"John D" will populate correctly
    --"jdoe" will populate correctly
    --"Doe" will NOT populate correctly

    REQUEST: Allow searching by last name (without having to enter first name before).

    Thank you for submitting this request. We’re pleased to announce that we have added support for searching by last name and email address when sharing from the Box web application. We hope to expand this functionality to our comments support in a future release.

  6. Add list of Groups user is currently a member of to the Managed User Screen

    In the "Edit User Access permissions" section of the Managed User page, there is a list of all the groups and a column to indicate if the user is a member. Admin must scroll through all the groups (1000's) to find which groups the user is in.

    Would like to see a separate section that just lists the groups the user is currently a member of.

  7. Request early resolution of notification issues

    From a file stored in Box, commenting with @mention does not send a notification email to the mentee, or the email is delayed.
    According to the following article, the notification service is being updated, and we would appreciate an immediate remedy.
    Notification emails are not being sent or delayed, which is affecting our operations.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4417769636371

    Boxに格納したファイルから、コメントを@メンションしてもメンション先に通知メールが送信されない、または、メールの遅延が発生している。
    以下の記事に「通知サービスをアップデートしている」と掲載されているが、早めの改善を要求する。
    通知メールが送信されない、または、送信が遅延することで、ビジネスに影響が生じている。

  9. Run User Activity Report with API

    We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
    Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
    Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.

  10. Canvas feature improvements

    After trying Canvas it looks like in order to get more use out of this compared to other open white board on the market it really does need allow more flexibility and improvements such as:

    1. Ability to allow GIF's for presentations.
    2. Allow links/ bookmark to files within box within a text box.
    3. Allow preview box of a video or crop a video within box to show a snippet of the video for presentation.
    4. Allow a preview link/ bookmark to Audio file to play.
    5. Currently drawn notes or shapes only allow corners to expand, it would help to add in side…

  11. 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.

  13. Managing Groups

    ■Request
    For "Group Management", we would like to request the permission settings that meet the following requirements.
    ・Can freely create groups
    ・Can only manage groups created by themselves
    ・Cannot manage groups for the entire tenant

    Currently, a group administrator can have administrative rights for only certain groups, but cannot create groups.
    We would like to achieve the above by segmenting the "Group Management" authority of co-administrator or expanding the "Group Administrator" authority. Could you consider it?

    ■Background
    Since it takes person-hours to grant folder access rights on a per-user basis, it is…

  14. Ability to display groups on a single line in the Collaboration Report

    The Collaboration report shows duplicate information for the same user if the user belongs to more than one group or if the individual and group collaborate on the same folder.
    As part of the inventory, we want to extract the access rights set for a folder, but it is inconvenient if user information is output in duplicate.
    When accessing a folder and viewing the collaboration information directly, the group is specified to be displayed on a single line.
    Please create an option to display them on a single line for reports as well.

    In Japanese:
    コラボレーションレポートでは、ユーザーが複数のグループに所属している場合や、
    個人とグループで同じフォルダにコラボレーションしている場合、同じユーザーの情報が重複して表示されます。
    棚卸の一環として、フォルダに設定されているアクセス権の抽出をしたいが、ユーザー情報が重複して出力されると不便です。
    フォルダにアクセスしてコラボレーション情報を直接見る際は、グループは一行で表示される仕様です。
    レポートの場合も一行で表示させるオプションを作って下さい。

  15. Map AD groups to co-admin roles

    Like many large companies, we use AD groups for privileged roles like reporting and team management. There is no current way to map these AD groups into co-admin roles and the Box admin must set these manually.

    This does not scale and is a major admin overhead for IT departments to have multiple places to administer something as simple as being able to generate reports or edit metadata templates.

    not planned  ·  katiele responded

    This does sound like a huge burden for admins and I’d like to hear more about how you’d use existing AD groups to grant co-admin permissions. We are looking into extending our APIs to allow admins to set co-admin permissions, which may alleviate the pain of setting the permissions manually.

    However, we don’t currently have any plans to take the AD groups and map them to co-admin permissions at this time.

  16. Publish Box Collections to Users and Groups

    Admins need a way to publish pre-defined collections to Users / Groups . Its also necessary to make these collections visible in Box Drive App.

  17. Inactive Status - Should have visual indicator that shows the account is inactive when user is still a collaborator on folder/file

    When I change a user to inactive in the admin console, The user is still a collaborator on a folder or file. There is no way for the active folder collaborators to know if people are active or inactive. The inactive user should either appear greyed out in the list of users or have an red x or something to indicate this user is no longer active. You would become aware if you try to send a comment or at mention to the inactive user it will not pop up but that still doesnt emphasis that person is no longer…

  18. Show all groups in Content Manager

    We'd like to target all groups in content manager in the admin console. Search results currently shows 1st 10,000 groups, but does not show groups created after the 10,000th group. We would like all of our groups to be shown in the content manager.

  20. Improve the sort order of candidate groups on invite modal

    Improve the sort order of candidate groups on invite modal

    Currently, candidate users/groups that partially match the texts I entered are displayed in the ascending order.
    We want a way to get the user/group that perfectly matches the texts I entered displayed at the top.

    For e.g., let's say we have the 4 groups each titled "Enterprise Sales team", "Commercial Sales team", "Online Sales team", "Sales team".

    With current design, when I type "Sales team" in the textbox, candidate groups are returned in the below order (every group that contains "Sales team" is returned…
