Configuring Inventory preferences
With version 6 and higher, FileWave integrated Inventory into the main FileWave server. With version 8, FileWave introduced Smart Groups with Inventory queries:
iOS Inventory
These settings only apply to the iOS/iPadOS/tvOS enrolled devices. These devices show up in the normal Clients section of FileWave Admin as well as in the iOS Inventory section.
- Device Inventory Poll Interval – Default is 24hrs. This setting is how often all iOS devices will report their profiles, application, security and device settings unless a Verify command is sent.
- Device Not Checked-In Notification – When an iOS device exceeds the timeframe set, the device color changes to alert the administrator that that device has not checked in with the MDM server.
Smart Groups
LDAP Custom Fields
If checked this option will clear the value of a LDAP Custom Field if there is no match between client and LDAP user or computer.

The topic of this KB is "Configuring Inventory preferences", which is not restrictive in regards to platform, yet, the main setting in this preference pane -- "iOS Inventory" -- only applies to iOS. What is the answer -- more specifically, the KBs or reference to KBs -- to the question about "how to configure inventory preferences" for macOS and other platforms?

You bring up a good point. The reason the iOS setting is there is because it's only really on iOS/iPadOS/tvOS that we have to poke the device to ask it to inventory rather than having the local agent do it. I know this is an older article and came over from the old user manual is why it is the way it is.
I would suggest, in this KB, a reference to https://kb.filewave.com/books/filewave-client/page/filewave-client-configuration-settings as a related KB.
