Allpro Insulator Initial Setup<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The steps in the Allpro Insulator initial setup process depend on whether the Allpro Insulator Quickbooks or Stand Alone edition are being utilized. The initial setup of Allpro Insulator can be cleanly divided into 3 phases with 4 basic steps in each phase. An outline of each of these phases and steps are shown in the links below:<\/h4>\n

Intended Program Flow<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A helpful tool when setting up Allpro Insulator is understanding the intended program flow. Although, Allpro Insulator is a flexible software solution for insulation contractors, it is recommended that you follow the intended program flow. Sections of the program flow can be omitted, based on business needs. (ie. If you do not intend to print Load Sheets, you can skip that portion of the program flow.)<\/h4>\n
