The Traverse web application is accessed using a URL and can be deployed to your agency's users in a variety of ways. A common deployment strategy Northwoods recommends is using a browser shortcut placed on the desktop.

To create the shortcut

  1. Right click on the desktop and select New > Shortcut.
    The Create Shortcut window appears.

  2. In the Type the location of the item field, type https://{organization}.northwoodstraverse.com and click Next.
    ​In most cases, organization will be your county and state abbreviation.

  3. In the Type a name for this shortcut field, type Traverse and click Finish.
    The shortcut is added to the desktop.

To add a custom icon to the shortcut

  1. Right click on the shortcut you just created and click Properties.

  2. Download a Traverse icon you can use for the shortcut.

  3. Extract the icon from the ZIP file.
    ​From your browser's file download location, probably within your Downloads folder (i.e., C:\Users\{username}\Downloads\), right click the TraverseDesktopIcon folder and click Extract All... > Extract.

  4. Back in the shortcut's properties, click Change Icon... and browse to the icon in the folder you just extracted.

  5. Double click the icon or click Open.

  6. Click OK > OK.
