If Associations are hidden in Central, Create Association(s)... may not appear; use Create Deployment... or Add to Deployment... for the deployment-centered workflow.

  • Duplicate – Create a copy of a fully configured Fileset. FileWave adds the suffix "copy." Use this when different administrators need separate deployment options, or when VPP tokens require separate licenses for the same content.
  • Fileset Report – Open a report for the selected Fileset.
Show all Associations of this Fileset – Open the Associations pane so you can view the Fileset and its assigned clients. Create AssociationAssociation(s)... – Open a searchable list of clients that you can associate with the Fileset. This option may be hidden when FileWave Central is configured to hide Associations; new FileWave instances commonly hide Associations by default as deployments become the preferred workflow. Create Deployment... – Start a new Deployment using the selected Fileset. Add to Deployment... – Add the selected Fileset to an existing Deployment. Rename – Change the Fileset name after creation. Comment – Add a comment that appears in the Fileset view to help track purpose, ownership, or rollout notes. Delete – Delete the selected Fileset from the database. Move To... – Move the selected Fileset to another Fileset Group. Properties – Open the selected Fileset's properties. Set PermissionsPermissions... – Set administrator access for a specific Fileset or Fileset Group.
