Admin and End User forums

I am new to Box.I singn up as developer user and set up a customized app with OAuth2.0 and JWT authentication.After making project [ box-java-sdk-samples/box-appusers-java-server-sample at master · box/box-java-sdk-samples · GitHub]  run locally,  I created an App User and a folder named Test Folder and a file named test.txt simultaneously.But the created folder and file are not shown in https://app.box.com/folder/0.Why? and how to see the uploaded files in console？

One of the most important 1st steps when starting out with Box is planning your folder structure. Checkout this article which covers the following points.  Here are some questions to consider before designing your Box folder structure:Who moves, owns, and maintains the content? What root level folders make sense for your org? This is typically based on the departments, regions, or groups using Box. Does your organization prefer to give users the ability to create and manage their own top-level folders? Or does your organization prefer to own (and control) all root level folders? Do your Admins and co-admins need full access to users' content? Are different levels of access needed for users, or are 

 Something I often go over with end users is how to make our shared links a little bit more secure.So, in this video I’ll demonstrate how you can add a password or an expiry date to your shared links with just a few clicks. This is a great feature for adding that extra layer of security when you share something.Let me know if you have any other questions in the comments!

Is there any way for us to make it easier for users to distinguish between personal folders and departmental folders?

💡Understanding how collaboration and shared links features work ensures you manage access effectively.This quick guide summarizes the difference between collaboration invites and shared links which would help you choose the best method that fits your needs:Collaboration:Invites individuals or external users to a file or folder Requires a Box account to access file or folder as a collaborator Allows users to view, edit, upload/download, and receive updates Ideal for long-term projects and detailed interactionShared Links:Provides a unique URL for access to specif

I send the public link to specific people. I would like them to be able to comment on a particular upload but recently learned that they are no longer able to do this. Is there a setting for this or are people with the public link no longer able to comment?  Thank you.

Could you share the steps for setting up a Hub in Box? Thank you - 

Hello Box Community - I have recently been apart of a team testing a Docusign integration into Box and we ran into a roadblock. When attempting to configure the integration, we wanted to connect the two platforms with a CoAdmin service account vs our Admin account. We noticed that even with the CoAdmin & Admin account had the same level of access/permissions, Box’s folder structure would not populate when attempting to make the connection on the Docusign side. We ended up manually entering the desired landing spot (ex. “Folder Name/Subfolder Name/Executed Document”) and the executed document routed to the correct folder. Has anyone else successfully integrated DocuSign & Box with a CoAdmin account, and if so, were you able to get Box’s folder structure to populate when creating an automated “action” on the Docusign side? Thank you!Chris 

I am using BOX for Salesforce, and I would like to use the default "Set Template Folder" flow to set up a template.By default, the flow is executed when a record is created, and BOX folders are created for records that do not require them, just like other records.I would like to change this so that the BOX folder is created when the "Create Folder" button is clicked, instead of when the record is created. How can I do this? I am new to using BOX and Salesforce, so I would appreciate it if you could provide detailed instructions.

I have many customers that are setting up their Box environments to optimize department level service accounts and folders to hold organizational information. This enables better content stewardship and ownership from the enterprise, and reduces risk.From a non-technical standpoint, what campaigns or messaging do you share with end users to encourage departmental uses (versus creating and utilizing personal folders)?

Hi all, I know many of our healthcare customers love Box for external collaboration for their research teams as Box is both a secure platform for PHI and has advanced collaboration permissioning.With classification labels, Box provides real-time user-facing alerts if someone accidentally tries to share a classified document with an external user, as opposed to other DLP tools that delete the content after it was already shared, and never notifying the user. Working with other universities on research is easy and secure, and integrations with tools Microsoft Office allow users to co-author in real time. I’ve also seen Box used in patient safety and quality departments as a PHI-approved repository for problem investigations and policy/procedure updates. RCAs, incident response proposals, and presentations can be edited and updated directly in Box with tasks and annotation, and then receive sign-off in Box with Box Sign.How else are healthcare organizations

As the old adage goes, “communication is key”.Whenever change takes place, ensuring clear and concise communication is shared with all impacted end users is a necessary step in making the process a success. In most situations, end users are not involved in the decision-making journey, but rather told what’s happening at the end and expected to change their behavior. But, none of us easily change our patterns without first buying into the WHY!All effective communications include a short bit about WHY the change is taking place and what benefit the end users will realize from the change being made. It also includes when the change is expected to occur and any actions required (before, during, or after) by the end user themself. And finally, make sure to include information about where users can go with questions - if they’re unable to get support when they need it, chances are good they’ll revert back to their old ways. That’s not what we want!

While reports can sometimes be an after thought when administering Box, I find that clients who schedule reports upon deploying Box stay the most in tune with their end user footprint. While there are many reports within your admin console, I would highly recommend scheduling one of our largest/most customizable reports, User Activity, to run on a weekly or monthly basis. Your end user / content footprint can be extremely vast and keeping record of your enterprise’s Box activity can make your life much easier to take action when needed.
