Installing the Windows Service for Mobile

Note.pngThis step is required if you are on a version of Personify prior to 7.4.0. If you are on Personify 7.4.0 or later, this step is included in the enterprise installation. For more information, please see the 7.4.0 Installation Guide.

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.
