This guide explains how to use the Pan and Select tool within a Network Update Request in NHVR Go. It shows you how to select individual road segments or small groups of segments and then apply approved, conditional or restricted access, or remove segments from the network. It also highlights how the context menu and segment list help you review the changes you are proposing.

1. In NHVR Go, open the relevant network and create or open a Network Update Request so the network is in Edit mode.

2. Locate the network management tools panel. Select the Pan and Select tool (the first tool in the list, shown with an arrow symbol).

3. Move your mouse over the map and left click on a road segment you want to change. The segment is selected and appears in the list in the left-hand column.

4. To select multiple segments:

a) Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard.

b) While holding Shift, continue left clicking additional segments on the map.

c) Confirm that each selected segment is added to the list in the left-hand column.

5. When you have selected at least one segment, right click anywhere on one of the selected segments to open the context menu.

6. If you want to quickly select all visible segments on the same road:

a) Right click on a selected segment.

b) In the context menu, choose the option to select all visible segments on that road within the current display.

7. In the context menu, choose the action you need for the selected segments:

a) Approve – grant access and add the segments to the network.

b) Add a Condition – apply a conditional access setting.

c) Restrict – apply a restricted access setting.

d) Remove – remove the segments from the network.

8. Review the cumulative segment and kilometre totals for the Network Update Request in the left-hand column to understand the size of the proposed change.

9. If required, use the option to filter proposed changes by Access Type (for example Approved, Conditional, Restricted) to focus on specific groups of changes.

The Pan and Select tool is best for detailed work where you need to precisely control which segments are affected. For larger areas, consider using the Area tool or Route Selection tool instead.

If a segment does not appear in your selected list after clicking, zoom in further and try again to ensure you are clicking the correct road segment.

Remember that left click selects segments and right click opens the context menu for Approve, Add Condition, Restrict or Remove.

Use the cumulative segment and kilometre totals to check that you have not accidentally selected too many or too few segments before moving on in the workflow.

All changes proposed with the Point and Select tool remain part of the Network Update Request until it is reviewed and approved by the NHVR Access Policy team for safety and Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) compliance.

Check your organisation’s internal guidance for naming, documenting and reviewing Network Update Requests.

If the Point and Select tool or context menu does not behave as expected, contact the NHVR using your usual support channels.
