Starting Nspector for the first time
Click the Nspector icon on the desktop. If you have not done so, enter your company information. This information can
be entered by selecting ‘Edit’ at the main menu before opening a job. When you are finished, click OK. Click on
'Reports' at the main menu then “Report Options’. At the ‘Summary’ tab, select the ratings you want to appear in the
report summary. Also select locations and/or complete condition text to be included in report summary. The ‘Misc
Options’ tab contains options for cover page and wood boring insect form selections. (Note: You can choose between
Nspector wood destroying form and the NMPA-33 form however, this form would require an electronic code for a yearly
fee of $100.00 and a one time fee of $100.00 to Home Inspections, Inc. to use this form with Nspector) Click on 'Jobs'
and select 'New Job' (to start a new job) or 'Open Job' (to open sample job 99). You can only have one job open at a
time. To close a job, select 'Close Job' from the 'Jobs' menu. When you have completed your job input, go to 'Reports'
at the main menu and generate the report. If you encounter difficulty in any phase of the program, select ‘Help’ at the
main menu.
We recommend you make a new folder such as ‘Nspector Reports’ in ‘My Documents’ and when a job is
generated save it in that folder, also recommended is automatic backups as follows:
With no jobs open select 'Jobs' at the main menu then 'Backup/Restore Options'. Select 'Automatically Backup'
and set your options. You can keep up to 10 backups. If a problem with the program is encountered, click
'Restore a Backup', highlight the backup you wish to restore then click 'Restore', Nspector will revert back to the
database selected before you experienced the problem. Note: All jobs entered after the selected backup date will
be lost, however, depending on the backup options selected very little information will need to be re-entered.
