Copy to Group

What

Copy to Group creates another group membership for the same device in FileWave Anywhere. It does not create a new device record, erase inventory, or remove the device from its existing groups.

When/Why

Use this action when a device should appear in more than one group. For example, you might keep a device in its normal location group and also copy it into a temporary testing, repair, or rollout group without moving it out of the original group.

How

  1. Open the Devices view in FileWave Anywhere.
  2. Find the device, open the ellipsis menu (...) to the right of the row, and choose Copy to Group(s).
  3. Select the destination group or groups, then confirm the copy.
