Update Model

What

In FileWave Anywhere, the Update Model icon () appears near the Model Number (). Updating the model commits pending deployment and configuration changes. The Model Number increments after each update, and managed devices compare their local model number to the server model number to know whether new work is available.

When/Why

Update the model after you create or change a deployment, payload, profile, or other setting that should take effect on devices. For example, after you create a VPP payload and assign it through a deployment, the assignment does not apply until the model is updated. Model Update permission does not need to be granted to every FileWave administrator; control it per administrative user.

A model update commits all pending changes from all FileWave administrators. In shared environments, coordinate model updates so one admin does not publish another admin's unfinished work.

How

To update the model, click the  icon. The video below shows the workflow.

FileWave shows the Update Model dialog whenever anyone updates the model in the environment.
