<key>HomepageLocation</key>
<string>https://www.applivery.com</string>
<key>NewTabPageLocation</key>
<string>https://www.applivery.com/docs</string>
Once in the Applivery dashboard, head to Device Management > Policies (1) and select the policy where you want to set the homepage URL.
Click the + Add configuration (2) button on the left-hand menu, then click the (3) button.
You can either copy the Plist above or use the Upload XML button to upload a new one.
Restart Google Chrome to verify that the configuration has been applied correctly.
