SkieWhat does the school do if a student loses the tablet?
Put the device in lost mode from the dashboard. It locks, shows a contact message, keeps tracking its location, and gathers evidence for a police report, including IMEI, serial, SIM details and the location trail. If it turns up, mark it found. A remote erase is not available yet.
A lost tablet is a bad day for the student and a headache for the office, so it helps to have a routine. In Skie, open the device or the student on the dashboard and start lost mode. The tablet locks, a message with your contact details appears on the lock screen, and tracking continues in the background wherever it has a signal.
The evidence pack is built for the police report. It contains the device IMEI, the serial number, any SIM details and the location trail so far. Take that to the station with the purchase record. Because the device is still managed, an attempt to reset it from Settings is blocked, and if it is wiped some other way, Android's Factory Reset Protection asks for the Skie organisation's Google sign-in, which only Skie holds. A reset device is of no use to whoever took it.
Remote erase is not available yet and the team is working on it. Locking and tracking are what you have today.
If the tablet comes back, mark it found and it returns to normal with the student's policy intact. If it does not come back, replace it. The replacement keeps the student, the group and the history, and the old seat is freed, so the school does not pay for a lost device twice.
A practical tip: decide your school's own rule before it happens, such as who reports, who pays and how fast. Tell parents at the start of the year so a lost tablet is not a surprise conversation.
