Once you’ve installed the InterNACHI Narrative Library file on your computer, simply open the HG software and the InterNACHI Narrative Library will appear as one of the template choices.

Installing the InterNACHI Narrative Library template into the HomeGauge software does not change the way the software works. You will still have access to all the templates that come with HomeGauge, but you'll also be able to choose the InterNACHI template with its vastly greater number of narratives and reference material.

Reference Material
In the CYA section, this template has over 40,000 words of onboard reference material including checklists, inspection guidelines, and lists of inspection concerns.
Links to PDF manuals for installation and inspection will be available any time you have wireless access to the internet. Most reference material appears automatically on the right side of the screen when you are looking at inspection items.
