Choose Deployment Targets and Exclusions in FileWave Anywhere
What
The Targets tab defines which endpoints receive every payload in a FileWave Anywhere deployment. Include individual devices, manual groups, Smart Groups, or LDAP OUs. Use exclusions to omit specific devices or groups from the selected targets.
When/Why
Use Targets for recipients and Exclusions for exceptions:
|
Targets - What you want to receive Groups - Static, Smart Groups, and LDAP OUs to include Devices - Specific devices to include |
|
|
Exclusions - What you don't want to receive Groups - Static, Smart Groups and LDAP OUs to exclude Devices - Specific devices to exclude |
|
You can save a deployment without targets, but it will not deliver payloads until you add at least one target. This is useful when preparing a deployment for later use.
How
- Open the Targets tab.
- Add the groups or individual devices that should receive every payload in the deployment.
- Optional: add groups or devices under Exclusions when they should not receive the payloads.
- Select Save to continue later or Next to continue creating the deployment.

It would be very nice if there was a way to click on the Targets to view them within the Deployment, similar to the "Reveal Client/Group/Clone" button for Associations. Additionally, a column that shows the status of the deployment would be helpful, including if there were any errors. So for instance, there could be 3 columns: Successful, Pending, and Failed. If there was a count of each status, and a way to right-click and view the clients with each specific status, that could really help with troubleshooting, similar to the report tool in FileWave Admin.

Thanks Sam. I'll log this note for you in Product Board ( https://kb.filewave.com/books/community-engagement/page/filewave-product-management ) and we are making it easier to get to Product Board by adding a menu item to get there right in FileWave Central and Anywhere menus.
