A concise guide for using Hydrant Manager to log hydrant tests, find hydrants, navigate to a selected hydrant, and navigate to the nearest hydrant. Tutorial and privacy documents are kept under Hydrant Manager as separate pages for performance.
Hydrant Manager is designed around a small field task: locate the hydrant, navigate to it when needed, record the hydrant test, and move on to the next hydrant.
Find hydrants
Use the available hydrant list or map to locate the hydrant you need.
Nearest hydrant
When location is available, use the nearest hydrant option to identify the closest hydrant from your current position.
Navigate
Open navigation to a selected hydrant so the device can guide you to the hydrant location.
Log tests
Record hydrant test details in the app so the result is saved with the hydrant.
Find Hydrants
Use Hydrant Manager to choose the hydrant you want to work with. The important details are the hydrant identity and its location, so the app can support both test logging and navigation.
Hydrant selection
Pick the hydrant from the available list or map before logging a test.
Location
Use the hydrant location to confirm you are working with the correct hydrant.
Field notes
Add simple notes when the test result needs context.
Nearest Hydrant
The nearest hydrant feature uses your current device location to find the closest hydrant in the app data. This is useful when a field user needs to quickly identify the hydrant nearest to where they are standing.
Location accuracy depends on the device, permissions, signal, and the quality of the hydrant location data.
Navigation
After selecting a hydrant, use the navigation action to route to that hydrant location. This keeps the app focused on selecting the hydrant and recording the test while the device handles turn-by-turn directions.
Selected hydrant
Navigate to the hydrant you chose from the app.
Nearest hydrant
Find the closest hydrant first, then navigate to it.
Confirm location
Before logging a test, confirm the hydrant in front of you matches the selected hydrant.
Log Tests
Hydrant Manager provides a simple place to record hydrant test information. Select the hydrant, enter the test details, add notes if needed, and save the result.
Keep entries clear and consistent so past tests are easy to understand later.
Field Tips
Check the selected hydrant
Make sure the selected hydrant matches the physical hydrant before saving a test.
Use nearest carefully
If hydrants are close together, verify the nearest result before logging data.
Keep notes short
Use notes for context that helps explain the test result.
Rely on navigation handoff
Let the device navigation app handle directions after Hydrant Manager identifies the target hydrant.
