Endpoint inventory and reporting
Turn endpoint inventory into reports your team can act on.
FileWave reports what devices you manage, which software is installed, what updates are missing, how licenses are used, and which endpoints need follow-up.
Reporting workflows
Find the devices and software that need attention.
Hardware and software inventory
Report on devices, operating systems, hardware, installed applications and versions, device health, updates, and deployment status. Check the inventory Last Connected timestamp before using results for troubleshooting or refresh planning: reopening a saved report reads stored data, not a fresh measurement from the device.
License tracking
Track Apple Apps and Books licenses from Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager, including ownership, consumption, and warning thresholds. Define and report on other software and font licenses across Windows, macOS, Android, and ChromeOS.
Saved reports and Smart Groups
Save inventory and Custom Field criteria as a report, or use them to keep a Smart Group current as devices match or stop matching. Software and settings assignments follow that changing membership, so review the matching devices and assigned content before deployment. The Client Groups guide explains group types and setup.
Scheduled delivery
Email saved inventory or license reports to IT, finance, or compliance teams. Administrators can review device details while IT leaders track status and follow-up work.
