Creating Smart Groups from Inventory Queries

What

Smart group creation in FIleWave has always been a duplicated effort if you wanted a smart group that was identical to an inventory query (report) that already existed.  This duplication of effort was inefficient.

When/Why

With version 14+ of FileWave, you can now directly create a new smart group from an existing inventory query. (and the crowds cheered!)

How

Creating the smart group is easy:

Right-click the Inventory Query you want to "copy" to a smart group Choose "Create Smart Group" Pick the destination where you want your smart group created

The newly created smart group will have no direct associations (deployments) assigned to it, but if you place it underneath a group that does have associations, the smart group will inherit them.

See example below:
