If your organization allows users to upload customer profile images or you include product images on your product listing page, you should consider installing the Windows Service. This service creates a Customer Images folder and helps you to standardize the size of all uploaded images ensuring that all customer profile images display in the same size as well as all product images. This way, your users can upload an image at any size and the application will not distort the image when inserting it into the image space.
To install the Windows Service:
1. Navigate
to the “MobileDeploymentPackage\ImageService” folder in the Mobile package
and double-click the PersonifyImageServiceSetup to begin the installation.

2. Click
Next until you reach the “Select
Installation Folder” screen.

3. Browse and select the file path in which you want to install the Windows Service.
4. Click
Next until you finish the installation.

5. Open the PersonifyImageService.exe.xml file and update the following:
· Seat Information
