Create a Crescendo Case

Crescendo Case is a Box folder marked to be available in Crescendo – with all of its subfolders and content. You may have many folders in your Box account, but only need a few of them in Crescendo.

Step 1 – Create or pick an existing folder in the root folder of your Box account (All Files) .

Browser window with Crescendo opened. Tag button is highlighted.

Step 2 – Add the tag crescendo to your folder or use [crescendo] as part of your folder description. Mark the top-level folder only – its subfolders and content do not need to be marked.

Box Tag edit windows is opened with Crescendo tag entered.

Box folder description is being edited. [crescendo] value is highlighted.

Step 3 – Proceed to copy, move, or create content within the Crescendo Case in Box. Crescendo supports folder hierarchy and Box permissions. Share, invite collaborators, set permissions, copy, rename etc. Organize your files as you see fit!

Share a Crescendo Case

When you invite collaborator to a Crescendo Case, it keeps the crescendo tag or [crescendo] description. Your collaborators don't to re-tag the folder.

You may share your Crescendo Case folder with a reduced access permission level (Viewer). It allows to view and download the document, but not to modify or delete it.

You are ready!

Your Box folders are now set up. Launch Crescendo, login with your Box credentials and your new Crescendo Cases will show up.

When you start Crescendo for the first time, your Case(s) will be synchronized to the device. It may take up to several minutes to complete the data download, depending on your network performance. Once synced, Crescendo will thereafter only download new and updated files.
