HELP! Am i stupid? IM stuck at the start line and find Im wasting my time. Hello, Im new to Home manage after using home inventory pro for many years until my new windows 10 will not install the program, though it still works on my daughters damaged laptop but for how much longer I have no idea. (and no i cant export the file). I have been in i.t. for 4 decades and know my way around just about any software......until this one. I am lost for words how I have spent so long entering just 3 items to see if this Home Manage Software is a good replacement and that there is no details for insurance policy except the name of insurer and their contact details! I have a HUGE inventory to manually enter if I am going to decide on thjs program but not looking good from the outset. With Home Inventory Pro, the easy setup was entering your residence, and then entering your insurer, with amount insured and policy number and expiry date and these insurance details would be default for every inventory item you enter. In fact you dont have any provision for the policy number in a data filed of an inventory item as its is obviously default from initial setup With these 3 items I have had to select insurer which simply brings up the insurer, and as there is no insurance policy number provision in SETUP, I have to enter a long policy number every time- which is not acceptable.. Thus with reporting I cant see anything to show how my inventory insured for X$.... is over or under insured according the the insurance policy....which is for X$ Am I missing something so easy or is this such a simple issue not addressed as I am certain that no one would want to manually enter their policy no. every time they enter an inventory item. Of course the only work around for inventory entering I can see is to duplicate an item with all the details (insurer included), but that still doesnt give me reporting as I have mentioned above) Hoping someone can clarify if I have completely missed something which should be so easy with no manual as every program has a setup and preferences section to start the program off.......
