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

  1. Open the Targets tab.
  2. Add the groups or individual devices that should receive every payload in the deployment.
  3. Optional: add groups or devices under Exclusions when they should not receive the payloads.
  4. Select Save to continue later or Next to continue creating the deployment.
