I have a folder in Box that has a retention policy applied to it. The retention policy permanently deletes files that are more than 180 days old.
I would like to generate an aging report that shows files which are 160 days old to notify the owners of the folder that these files are approaching the end of the retention period.
New to box and not seeing anything so far that lets me create a report based on the age of files.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
This would be handy, indeed! At the University of Arizona, we also use Retention policies and would love to run a report to show the age of files so that we can communicate with the appropriate IT staff before the retention policy applies to said content.
I agree, triggers for Relay on a date field whether create, modified or a metadata field with operators for XX number of days before and xx number of days after would be pretty handy.
Hello
You might want to consider generating a Retention Report from the Admin Console > Reports. This report provides details about a specific retention policy, along with a list of all the files the policy covers. I believe the report information under Policy Time Period will be helpful for you. However, I’m not certain if an admin can set a specific number of days for the report (e.g., 160 days). I’m currently confirming this with our Product Support team and am awaiting their response.
In the meantime, if applicable, you may want to reach out to your Customer Success Manager for further guidance and a more strategic approach to this process. I’ll send you a message with their contact details.
