Performing Actions on Multiple Devices

What

FileWave Anywhere can run one supported device action against several selected devices at once.

When/Why

Use bulk actions for work such as restarting or wiping a set of iPads, or updating the same Custom Field on several devices. Check the selected device list carefully before confirming an action that erases data or interrupts users.

How

In the Devices view, select the checkboxes beside the devices you want to manage:

Open the Action menu to see the actions available for the full selection:

FileWave Anywhere shows only actions supported by every selected device. For example, selecting two iPads can show Wipe and Restart. If the selection also includes a Windows device, iPad-only actions are omitted.
