Fileset Properties

Properties exist for most Filesets, but options displayed will vary depending upon Fileset type.

File Level Filesets include:

Properties

Additional features include Reboot, the Force sub-option, priority, and an option to change verification for the entire Fileset. Priority provides extra control over the order of Fileset activation.

Requirements

Settings define the OS and hardware requirements for the Fileset. The Fileset downloads and activates only on devices that match these requirements.

Dependencies

Dependencies are covered in more detail elsewhere. In essence, the Fileset activates only after another defined Fileset installs first.

Delete Files

A defined list of files to be removed during activation

Profiles may only be a dependency in one direction, to prevent unexpected delay of Fileset installations.

FileWave has no control over the MDM protocol and relies on Apple’s process for delivering MDM items. For this reason, dependencies can make an MDM Fileset, such as a profile or VPP app, install after a non-MDM Fileset has activated, but other Filesets cannot depend on an MDM Fileset.
