Full summary

The FileWave Inventory Client for Chrome OS reports device information from enterprise-enrolled Chromebooks to FileWave Inventory. FileWave administrators can then easily build simple or detailed custom queries within the FileWave Management Suite based on hardware and/or software information, such as the operating system, model, serial number, MAC address and much more.

Engage for Chrome OS: Bringing the FileWave Engage classroom experience to Chrome OS.



Requirements: Engage for Chrome OS requires the FileWave Engage system to be installed and activated. FileWave Engage is part of the FileWave Management Suite - please ask your System Administrator for details about using Engage for Chrome OS on your Chromebook devices.



Please note: Engage for Chrome OS does not support all FileWave Engage features.


Engage for Chrome OS is the companion application to the FileWave Engage system. This native Chrome OS app will allow teachers to:

  • Share classroom content with students using Chromebooks.
  • Direct students to take a poll or go to a specified website.
  • Lock / “Black out” student screens, keeping distractions hidden during times of instruction.
  • Enforce a specified tab to remain in front.


 Content Management 
Engage provides teachers with the ability to centralize course content and easily present it to students in a week-by-week planner-view. Teachers are free to use whatever system they are familiar with (iTunes U, Google Drive, personal websites - anything with a URL) to share content. If the URL's to the content change, teachers do not need to inform students, thus greatly simplifying the task of ensuring everyone is accessing the right content.
