How the day flows

A short path from context to action

The role-based app should make the next owned action obvious, then leave a clean handoff for the next team.

  1. 01

    Start with the residence

    Open the house, room, facility, or student context that matches the residential task at hand.

  2. 02

    Update the routine

    Review assignments, accommodation details, facilities, or operational notes from a phone or tablet while moving through the residence.

  3. 03

    Share the right handoff

    Keep authorised school teams aligned while limiting sensitive residential details to the roles that need them.

Mobile and tablet ready

Use the screen that fits the school moment

A phone is useful for a quick update at the gate or between lessons. A tablet gives a wider view for class lists, routes, rooms, or residential work. Desktop remains available for detailed setup and reporting.

Phone

For quick checks, updates, attendance, communication, and on-the-move operational work.

Tablet

For a wider view of class lists, assignments, schedules, rooms, and documents.

Connected modules

Keep the mobile task connected to the school system

Use these related areas to validate the handoff from this role to the teams that share the record.

Hostel mobile app questions

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Can hostel staff use Schoolyi away from a desktop?+

Yes. The hostel experience is designed for phones and tablets so authorised residential staff can work closer to houses, rooms, and facilities.

Is hostel information visible to every school user?+

No. Schoolyi uses role-based access so residential information can be limited to the staff and leaders who need it for their responsibilities.

Does the hostel app work for day schools?+

The boarding and hostel experience is intended for schools with residential operations. Day schools can use the other Schoolyi role-based mobile experiences without enabling boarding workflows.
