Below are some screen shots of a hydrant inspection program using Survey123. The workflow starts with identifying or locating a fire hydrant on the map. Then the next step it to edit attribute associated with a fire hydrant such as GPM, manufacturer, date inspected, maintenance required, etc. Then you push the check mark to save the values to the internet based web feature.

A post will follow to provide instructions how to create a hydrant inspection program.
