The Shared Links report lists all active shared links created for files or folders in your Box account. This report is useful when you want to see what content in your enterprise has been shared. You must define filters for the Shared Links report before you can run it. See [Shared Links Report Filters](#shared-links-report-filters) for more information. If you would like to report on Custom URLs attached to content in your enterprise, see [Reporting on Custom URLs](/en/box-admin-tools/reporting-and-insights/reporting-on-custom-urls). ## Shared Links report details * **File format**: comma-separated value (.csv) file * **Filename format**: `shared_links_run_on_YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.csv` * **Folder name format**: (each report run is placed in its own folder): `Shared Links run on YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS` * **Filename and folder name time zone**: the local [date and time](/en/box-admin-tools/reporting-and-insights/dates-and-times-in-report-data) of the admin who ran the report or who set up the report [schedule](/en/box-admin-tools/reporting-and-insights/scheduling-reports). ### Shared Links report data columns This section describes the data columns that are generated in Shared Links reports. You can select which data columns appear in the report. All columns are selected by default, and the columns marked with an asterisk and grayed out in the dialog box are required.
