SkieA student is missing from the hostel. What can the warden do in Skie?
With consent and the right role, the warden can open the student's device on the dashboard, request a fresh location, see the last seen time and the recent trail, and use go-to directions. If the device is switched off or offline, the last known position is what remains. Call the family and the police as your policy says.
In a real emergency, time matters, and the first minutes are usually spent on phone calls. Skie gives the warden a few quick facts. Open the student, check when the device was last seen, and press locate to ask for a fresh position. If the device is online and has signal, it reports back.
Locate can fail, and the dashboard says why: for example no signal, the device being off, or no recent report. In that case the last known location and the recent trail are what you have. A trail shows where the device has moved over a limited recent period, and it helps to see whether the phone left campus by the main gate.
Go-to gives directions to the last position, which is useful for staff or a parent travelling there. If the device is a school one and has been taken, lost mode locks it, shows a contact message, keeps tracking and builds an evidence pack with IMEI, serial, SIM details and location trail for a police report.
Access is a matter of role. The warden needs location pages switched on for their role and scoped to their block. Parents and the warden can have separate access, so a parent does not depend on the hostel to share a position.
Skie does not read messages, call logs or record audio, and it cannot see through the camera. It is a location and device tool, not an investigation tool. Remote screen view and photo capture are not available yet.
A practical tip: write a short missing student procedure now, with names, numbers and who calls the family, and test it once. Seeing the dashboard for the first time during a real search is the wrong moment.
