New Inventory Item -- Enrollment Type

What

The Enrollment Type inventory field records how a device enrolled in FileWave. Use it to distinguish enrollment methods when reviewing inventory or planning content assignments. It is not the same as Enrollment State, and it does not prove that a device is currently online.

When/Why

Check the recorded enrollment method before using it to target content. The device-details example below shows Enrollment Type: OTA Enrollment separately from Enrollment State: Enrolled.

How

Use Enrollment Type in an Inventory Report or Smart Group. In FileWave Central 16.3.0 and later, open Reports; earlier versions call this Queries. For a first check, follow Inventory Reports and add Enrollment Type alongside the device name, an identifying field and inventory Last Connected. Confirm the result for a device whose enrollment method you know before reusing the criteria in a Smart Group. Review which content the group would assign before changing membership.

The table below lists the recorded labels and numeric values, including legacy methods. Not available (8) means the method was not determined, not that the device is necessarily unenrolled. Presumed DEP Enrollment (9) is a historical inference for supervised iOS devices enrolled before FileWave 14; it cannot distinguish ADE from Apple Configurator and must not be treated as confirmed ADE. DEP is Apple's former name for Automated Device Enrollment (ADE).
