Purpose Statement

This article explains how to edit hydrant details and relocate hydrants within the system using multiple modules. Properly maintaining hydrant data ensures accurate mapping, improves response efficiency, and supports operational readiness in emergency situations.

Background Information

Hydrants can be edited and relocated from several areas within the platform, including the Response, Pre-Plan, and Hydrant modules. While multiple access points exist for convenience, the Hydrant Maps within the Hydrant module is the preferred method for relocating hydrants due to higher mapping precision.

Common use cases include:

• Updating hydrant attributes (flow rate, status, notes)

• Correcting inaccurate map placement

• Adjusting hydrant locations based on field verification

Required Permissions

Users must have one of the following:

• Project Administrator access

• End User permissions with hydrant edit capabilities enabled

Relevant permissions may include:

• Hydrant Module Access

• Edit Hydrant Records

• Map Editing Permissions
