SkieWhat is the device models page in Skie?
The device models page lists every phone and tablet model your organisation has used or plans to use with Skie, each with its own model profile and review status. It shows which models are published and ready to provision, which are unreviewed, and lets you add a new one.
Android devices from different makers ship with different built-in apps, settings screens and quirks. Skie keeps a record of each model it has seen so that its rules fit that device properly. The device models page is where that record lives.
For each model you see its name, whether it has been reviewed, and whether its profile has been published. A published model is ready to provision, with its own mapping of system apps and essentials. An unreviewed model can still be provisioned, but it gets a more cautious treatment, described in its own entry.
The page also holds the actions. You can open a profile, edit its mapping, or start the add-a-model wizard for a new model. Skie's own team reviews models for the global catalogue, and an organisation may add the models it owns through the wizard when it has a physical device in hand.
This is not a compatibility gate in the usual sense. Any Android 12 or newer phone or tablet can be used. The page exists so that the first time a model appears, someone looks at it once, and every later device of that model benefits.
Practical tip: before buying forty tablets of one model, provision a sample and watch what the models page does with it. That tells you whether the model needs a review before the rest arrive. See what a model profile contains and the add a model wizard.
