  5. Hover your mouse on the Yellow Plus button on the bottom right corner of your screen, next click on the Chrome icon to open up the Chrome Web Store.  Search for "Arreya" and click +[Select].
  6. Under the [Kiosk Settings] heading click the dropdown box under [Auto-Launch Kiosk App]. Select "Arreya".

This will give you the online and offline status of the Chrome device in your Google Admin console. Enabling device system log upload is optional, which will upload device logs every day.  Click [Save] in the upper right corner to confirm these settings.
  8. In the upper left, change the dropdown from [Apps & Extensions] to [Settings].  Click on [Device Settings] and scroll down to [Device Update Settings].
