Spammy spam, oh so sly,
Filling inboxes, oh my, my.
Clickbait words and tricks they play,
Trying to lead us all astray.

Spammy spam, we’ll delete you,
No more tricks, we see right through.
Unwanted emails, be gone far,
Spammers, you won’t get too far.

Spammy spam, just a bother,
Trying to sell what we don’t want, brother.
We’ll report you, make you flee,
No more spamming, let us be free.

Spammy spam, it’s no game,
We won’t fall for your false claim.
Respect our inbox, hear our plea,
Spammers, now it's time to flee.

maybe just a rogue (AI?) SEO bot? Though this account is definitely a lot more customized/personalized than the other SEO spammers we see around here, so it's hard to say for sure. But it's hard to imagine any rational person would expect to get a friendly reception to such a comment in a forum like this, especially when they apparently just searched threads with "box" in the title to post under...

You actually won't get anything by spamming here. Trust me. I am your well-wisher.

It comes from the days when software came to you in a box. A literal cardboard box. You'd open the box and there would be a booklet, or possibly several. It could have one CD, or lots of CDs. You picked the one marked "1", put that in your CD-ROM, and it went through an install wizard to install the software. You could have some optional extras, and you got those by taking the other CD-ROMs "out of the box" and also running those as part of the setup wizard. Whatever software you got without downloading it from someone else from the internet or writing it yourself is what came out of that box you purchased.

Sometimes you could buy expansions or upgrades, but those came in a different box, and so weren't considered out of THE box, the first one you purchased.

Agreed with Mike and Stefan - this isn't an Appian-specific term, it applies to software in general: en.wikipedia.org/.../Out_of_the_box_(feature)

The "box" is a metaphorical reference to the retail "box" which software would normally be purchased in, at least in the past.

Think of a new copy of Windows XP. You buy it at the store, in a shiny shrink-wrapped box, then take it home and open it, to install it on a new (for instance) PC. Features which were available strictly from a clean install from the official installation CD, were features that are "available out of the box".

This is different than, say, "outside the box", which means something completely unrelated.

Yeah I got that, I was just wondering something inside why Appian referring it as Out Of the Box..

Generally Out of the box means something not inside

OOTB means all the features and functions delivered in the base product. You can then add more by installing plugins.
