You can place shortcuts, or web clips, to websites to appear alongside apps on user devices. You can specify your own icons to represent the web clips for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android devices. Windows tablet requires just a label and a URL. For iOS and iPadOS devices, configure the home screen layout device policy to organize the web clips you create. If you restrict access to apps on iOS, make sure that you configure the restriction device policy to allow web clips. For information on configuring these policies, see Home screen layout device policy and Restrictions device policy.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.
