# 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 ![Q2aE76agZPy6oXRz-embedded-image-6prmibv6.png](https://kb.filewave.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-07/Q2aE76agZPy6oXRz-embedded-image-6prmibv6.png)
**Exclusions** - What you don't want to receive **Groups** - Static, Smart Groups and LDAP OUs to exclude **Devices** - Specific devices to exclude ![K2Lf5Zw5uQPKPEim-embedded-image-hz39n0e2.png](https://kb.filewave.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-07/K2Lf5Zw5uQPKPEim-embedded-image-hz39n0e2.png)

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.
