SkieWho sets up Skie, me or the Skie team?
You do, once, using either the Skie Provision app on another phone or a computer and cable. After that, everything is managed from the dashboard in a web browser. You do not need to be technical. The steps are guided, and Skie support can help if you get stuck.
Setup is a one-time job on the child's device. It is guided, so you follow screens and do not type commands from memory.
There are two ways. With the Skie Provision app, you install the app from Google Play on your own phone or tablet, sign in, and it pairs with the child's reset device over Wi-Fi and walks you through a stepper with live progress. With a computer and cable, you connect the child's device by USB and paste one command, which is how schools often do it.
Either way, the device must be freshly reset and have no Google account on it. Your Skie account issues a one-time enrolment token for the device automatically, and Skie checks the model and licence before it goes ahead.
Once the device is managed, you stop thinking about setup. In the dashboard you choose apps, windows, the filter and location. Changes reach the device when it syncs, which is soon after you make them.
If you are not comfortable, ask a friend who is, or contact Skie support. Do not skip the backup before the reset.
A good moment is a quiet weekend with the device charged and on Wi-Fi. Allow time. Rushing a first setup is the one thing that tends to go wrong.
