Fileset Reports

Use the Report toolbar button on a selected Fileset, multiple selected Filesets, or a Fileset Group to check deployment status for the selected item.

Report toolbar button in FileWave Central

In FileWave 16.1 and later, the Fileset Report table includes Client Name, Client ID, Fileset Revision Name, Fileset Revision ID, Fileset Version, Status, Status Date, Deploy Date, and Install Date. When the report contains multiple Filesets, it also includes Fileset Name and Fileset ID so you can identify which Fileset each row belongs to.

Single selected Fileset report

Fileset Report window for one selected Fileset showing client, revision, status, deploy, and install date columns

Multiple selected Filesets report

Fileset Report window for two selected Filesets showing Fileset Name and Fileset ID columns in addition to client and revision status columns

Use the Revision selector to view all revisions or a specific Fileset revision when reporting on one Fileset. Use Search Reports to filter visible rows, Refresh to update the report, and Export to save the report as a CSV file.

Interpret the result before retrying

Match the Client ID and Fileset Revision ID to the device and revision you intended to deploy, and read Status together with Status Date. Check the Revision selection and clear any Search Reports filter before treating a missing row as a deployment result.

Associated and Downloaded are not completed installations. Available in Kiosk means the item is offered for self-service, not that the user installed it. Some unmet requirements are categorized as completed work even though installation was skipped. Use Fileset Status Meanings to interpret the exact status rather than relying on a broad completion category.

For installer Filesets, such as .pkg or .msi packages, review the Installer Log for the affected client before deciding to retry. Reinstall on Selected Clients is an installation action, not a report refresh: confirm the selected clients and the installer's effects before using it. After any corrective action, refresh the report and check the resulting application or configuration on the device.
