This article describes how to manage IDS 2 Shipping Portal Icons with the new June 2018 update.
Step-by-step guide
- Some users of the IDS 2 Shipping Portal may notice they have 2 IDS 2 Shipping Portal Icons (shortcuts) on their computer. They will look like this:
- You will need to delete the old icon, which is this one:
- To do this, right click the shortcut and select "delete".
Why is IDS doing this?
IDS 2 Shipping was originally installing into a computer's ProgramFiles, ProgramFiles (x86) folders.
This meant you could only install and update the IDS 2 Shipping Portal if you have Window's Admin Privileges.
We have now moved the default install location to a computer's AppData folder, which means under a normal Window's Set Up, you will no longer need Window's Admin Privileges to install or update the IDS 2 Shipping Portal.
Because of the above, for some clients who installed the IDS 2 Shipping Portal in 2017, they may now find they have 2 icons on their computer.
Future updates will remove the wording of "Keep this One" from the IDS 2 Shipping Portal Icon.
