How to Submit a Test Without a Scheduled Test
Klir supports two ways to search for a customer or address when starting a blank test submission, depending on how your utility's Klir environment is configured:
|
Workflow |
When it applies |
|
Option A – Standard Workflow |
Default for all customers. Searches existing customer records already in your Klir platform. |
|
Option B – GIS API Workflow |
Only for customers with the GIS API integration enabled. Searches an external GIS database, so you can find any valid address — not just existing customer records. |
If you're not sure which applies to your utility, check with your Klir admin — this is configured at the account level, not chosen per submission.
Step 1: Start a Blank Test Submission
- Log in to the Portal.
- From the Home Screen, click Submit Test.
- At the bottom of the left-hand page, click the link beside the question mark icon.
- Select Start a Blank Test Submission.

Step 2: Complete the Details Page
Fill in each required section. The first field depends on which workflow your utility uses:
Option A – Standard Workflow
Use the customer search dropdown to search existing customers already on file in your Klir platform. Select a match from the returned list to populate the record.

Option B – GIS API Workflow
Use the address search field, which queries your utility's connected external GIS database. This returns all available addresses in the system — not limited to existing customer records — so you can submit a test for an address that hasn't been onboarded as a customer yet.
Once you've selected a customer or address (via either workflow), continue with:
- Confirm Customer Facility
- Enter Serial Number
- Manufacturer
- Hazard
Click Next.
Step 3: Add Tester Details
Provide all necessary test information:
- Initial Details
- Repair and Retest
- Observations
- Check the box: "I certify that all information on this report is true and correct"
Click Next.
Step 4: Review Submission
- Review all entered information for accuracy.
- Attach a photo of the device.
- Click Submit.
Step 5: Confirmation
After submission, you'll be redirected to the My Tickets list, where your new test will appear.
