Introducing the Ability to Configure Ready-Sign Link Validation Email Settings in Box Sign!

Admins and co-admins can enable or disable the ready-sign link validation email for all ready-sign links initiated across their account or for specific users and groups when creating or modifying ready-sign link templatesWe are incredibly excited to announce the ability for admins and co-admins to configure email validation settings for recipients who initiate signature requests when using ready-sign links in Box Sign! By default, when a ready-sign link is enabled through a reusable template, the recipient who initiates the ready-sign link signature request is required to validate themselves via a one time password that is sent to them via email before they can gain access to the signature request to complete it and enable the request to continue to the next step. This can create a number of different potential issues for organizations that are looking for a quick, self-serve way to create fillable and signable documents that they can embed anywhere they choose to collect e-signature o

how do i create new task in the Box iOS app.

I am trying to creat a new task from the iOS app and  there is no option to do so in the comment/activity screen like I’m used to seeing in the web version.  Furthermore, I can use the web version to create the task on my mobile device but when I try and log in to the web version it automatically opens the box app instead of loading the web interface.

Introducing Full Image Support for Box Doc Gen Templates!

 The Box Doc Gen Template Creator Add-In for Microsoft Word enables users to upload images when dynamically generating documentsWe are incredibly excited to announce full image support for Box Doc Gen templates! This feature enables users to dynamically merge PNG and JPEG images directly into Box Doc Gen templates when leveraging the Box Doc Gen Template Creator Add-In for Microsoft Word. Previously, in order to populate Box Doc Gen templates with images, users can only request a Base64 string, which limited their ability to generate well-formatted custom documents with images. This feature streamlines the Box Doc Gen template creation process and provides a much more user friendly and frictionless experience.Box Doc Gen empowers teams to automatically generate custom, error-free documents ina matter of seconds — reducing turnaround times, mitigating risk, and eliminating manualdata entry while improving operational efficiency.
