Thread: Inspectit Report Plus help

I have just started working with Inspectit Report Plus and was hoping that someone could help me with one point. My biggest pet-peeve is typing the same data in over and over again. I don’t mean the report content but data like clint info, realtor info, ect ect.

I see that there is a button to import data from Inspectit OfficePro but I don’t have this and don’t really see the need for it when Microsoft Outlook takes care of all my contacts, email, and scheduling.

My question is this. Is there any way to import contact data from Microsoft Outlook, Intuit Quickbooks, or something other then OfficePro?

Thanks in advance.
Take care, Dustin

Dustin: Incidentally, you have a namesake at the AHIT tech support who can answer this for you. OfficePro utilizes MS Access, so it cannot be much of a leap.

I haven’t contacted technical/customer support yet. I normally reserve that as a lost resort for a couple of reasons.

-Most support centers are staffed with people that don’t actually use the products they represent on a daily basis and some don’t use the products at all. Most look for your question on a list and give you the answer printed. Most of the time you’ll get a much better, to the point, and detailed answer from the community that uses the product in question every day.

-If the short answer requires you to purchase additional products, your normally going to get that answer. In this case the answer of “no” would require me to acquire a copy of OfficePro to do what I want to do. I’m not saying that is what I’m going to get from this company, just what I’ve seen in the past from other companies.

I have a fairly good understanding of MS Access and the rest of the MS Office suite. I’ve had to create databases in the past using Access and as an instructor for the Navy used the suite quite extensively. I’m sure that if ReportPlus isn’t made to work with anything else but OfficePro that I can make it do what I want. But before I go spending large amounts of time changing things around I figured I’d ask here and then move on to tech support.

I have poured though every post in the reports section (looked though the archives as well) and saw nothing close to the issues I have. But have found that there are a few people that have been using this software for awhile and may know what I need to do. Thanks a bunch.

Take care, Dustin

Dustin,

I have a name and address already typed into place on my document. I then just hit the "edit" feature and put in the correct name and address. Saves me time.

I use Inspectit Report Plus in conjunction with their Office Pro and it works extremely well. I have had a lot of success with their customer support staff.

I used report plus with office pro for 4 years. I have not been able to get the Office Pro software to work at all. Use the create documents tab, fill it out, open report plus, start new inspection and the customer info should be there. When I demo'd other sofware this year I found out that I was working harder on typing the reports and inserting photographs then I had to.

Switched to 3D inspection software and it works well. Saves me about 30 minutes of typing and photo editing.

I do however like how you can pay your fee to AHIT and you can call and talk to a human who can log onto your computer, if need be, and fix it. Like all customer service folks, some good some bad. AHIT has always been very helpful.
