Search Criteria

What

Use the upper-right Search for Devices field (Search for Devices) in FileWave Anywhere/WebAdmin to quickly find devices from any view.

When/Why

This search is useful for quick, one-off support lookups when you already know part of a device name, operating system name, or current username and want to jump straight to the device record.

How

  1. Click the Search for Devices field in the upper-right corner.
  2. Enter the value you want to search for, such as a device name, operating system name, or current username.
  3. Review the matching devices and select the device name to open the device detail view.

This search is meant for fast device lookup. If you need to search custom fields or build a reusable device list, use the relevant device view filters or an inventory query/report instead.
