Edit or move objects on the web map

You can fix a bend in a sketch line, archive an object that should not be there, and know when fielders will see the change.

Where: web portal, Data, then Utility Map. Needs: the Org Admin or Analyst role.

When you finish: you can fix a bend in a sketch line, archive an object that should not be there, and know when fielders will see the change.

Use the web map when a line needs a bend corrected or an object should leave the map. What you save here becomes what fielders see after they sync.


Select an object

  1. Open Data, then Utility Map.

  2. Select the job, then the object on the map.

  3. Use the panel's three tabs: Data, Photos, History.

The Photos tab can say there are no photos even when a picture sits on a Data field. Open Data to see field photos. For a measured pole, use Measure Utility Pole on the Data tab.


Fix a bend in a sketch line

Draw polyline on the map toolbar creates a Sketch Line. That is not a span.

  1. Select the Sketch Line.

  2. On the Data tab, read Geometry: vertex count, anchored count, length.

  3. Choose Edit vertices. The Edit polyline panel opens.

  4. Drag a vertex to move it. Click a segment midpoint to insert one. Select a vertex and press Delete to remove it.

  5. Save (or Enter). Save stays disabled until you change something and the line has at least two vertices. Undo reverts the last change; Cancel or Esc leaves without saving.

Archive a pole or sketch line

  1. Select it and open the overflow menu. It shows Created, Modified and Archive. There is no Move here; to change a pole's location from the web, look next to Location on the Data tab.

  2. Choose Archive and confirm. It is reversible from the object later.


Place something new instead

Use the add toolbar: Add Pole, Add Span, Draw polyline, and one Add entry for each custom object type in your configuration. Placing a new object is a different task from editing one that exists.


When fielders see the change

  • Fielders do not see new geometry until UtilityScout syncs. Ask them to open the app and wait for Synced.

  • Editing on the web does not replace measuring in the field. If the pole still needs a fresh measurement, see Re-measure a pole from the web.
