Map Change Request

Overview

As a field technician, knowing where and what the network assets are is key to best manage and maintain water utility infrastructure. Typically, field crews have access to paper map books that they use to make notes about the network, including attribute information for assets. Additionally, as multiple versions of paper map books are used in the field, different people are viewing and making notes about different information. When using a map on mobile device, all field technicians in your organization can view and interact with the same information, helping to ensure decisions are being made with the most up to date authoritative content.

Map Change Request is designed to be used by field technicians to collect map change requests in the field. Follow the steps below to understand the software requirements and learn to use the map in the field.
