Report Condition Groups

What

Condition Groups control how AND and OR criteria are evaluated in FileWave Reports and Smart Groups.

When/Why

Use a Condition Group when one report combines AND with OR logic. It works like parentheses in SQL: the grouped criteria are evaluated together. A report for Windows OR macOS devices does not need a group. A report for devices where Office is installed AND the platform is either Windows OR macOS should group the two platform criteria.

How

The video below builds that grouped platform condition for a Report or Smart Group. Preview the results before saving, then check a few known matching and non-matching devices to confirm the grouping behaves as intended:
