How to decide what is included in a single deployment?

What

Deployments let you group multiple payloads and manage their deployment rules together. The practical question is which Filesets and payloads belong in the same deployment.

When/Why

This applies when you create new deployments and when you convert existing associations into deployments. Group content that should share the same assignment logic, timing, licensing behavior, delivery settings, revision behavior, and destination platform.

How

A good deployment grouping balances admin effort with the deployment metadata that FileWave applies to that content:

1. What grouping keeps the FileWave administrator workflow manageable?
2. Which deployment metadata should apply to the content together:
   1. Licensing options
   2. Timing options
   3. Delivery options
   4. Fileset and payload revisions
   5. Destination platform
