Student Safe - Mobile security application for all US schools

Sorry, I have 2 questions! :)
1) I have a place on my app where user can create account and select via drop-down menu which school they are from. Where can I access this saved data from the control panel database?
2)The school administrators (one from each school will be part of my app team) will need the ability to send a push notification warning to just their own students. So basically, while all students in the US will have downloaded the application, they should only be able to receive push notifications from their school's administrator. Push notifications would only be used for emergency purposes.
Maybe, since all students will have selected their high school and that data should be saved somewhere, the administrator can send the push notification to just students who have selected the specific school - sort of like a group filter system for push notifications. That is why I asked question number 1. Is there any way to make this work?

I appreciate any help! Thanks!

1) You can view the data in Appery.io Database console.

2) Yes, you can send a push notification only to specific users.

Hello Bryce,

There should be something like:

  1. Action where student selects his high school
  2. The app updated Devices Data in database based on the action above http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b....
  3. When you set up Push you will need to create statement only for those devices which suits the condition.

Thanks for the additional information! I think that will really help. So for the third part when you say I need to "create a statement only for those devices", what exactly does that mean? I found a place to create a badge for the push notification. Is that the same thing?

When Push registration success event is triggered in app which is installed on device - device data appears in Devices data in DB. You can retrieve device data, update it using REST requests http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b...
