Adding managed roads not on a network – How to bulk add all remaining managed roads to a network with approved or conditional access

What this guide does

This guide explains how to use the Data Import Tool to add all remaining managed roads that are not yet on a network. This guide shows how to set new segments as approved or conditional in a single bulk upload. This guide is useful when a network only covers some of your area of responsibility and you want to complete it.

Prerequisites

NHVR Portal (NHVR Go) account with Road Manager access.

Access to Network Management and the network you want to complete.

Permission to create or edit a Network Update Request (NUR) for that network.

Network already exists with some roads included, but other managed roads in your area of responsibility are missing.

  2. Create or open a Network Update Request (NUR) for that network. Click Save Draft. Be sure not to submit the NUR as the select Import network segments option will not appear.

  1. Open the template in Excel and locate the section or columns related to the scenario Add Managed Roads not on Network.

  1. Complete the required fields in the template so that:

    1. The correct network and area of responsibility are referenced (as per the template headings).

    2. The appropriate access status is selected (for example approved or conditional).

    3. Any condition or restriction text is entered in the relevant column; this text will be included as free text conditions or restrictions on the new segments.

  1. Allow the system to run its checks. If any fields are invalid, they will be highlighted. Correct them in the template and re-upload them if needed.

  1. When validation is successful, click Import Data to run the scenario. All other managed road segments in your area of responsibility that are not currently on the network will be added to the NUR with the access you selected.

  1. After you receive the completion notification, click Back to return to the NUR and review the newly added segments. Remove or adjust any segments as required before submitting the NUR.

Tips and common issues

This scenario is designed to add all remaining managed roads in one import; use it carefully and confirm that the network is ready for this step.

Ensure any condition or restriction text you enter is clear and consistent, as it is imported as free text.

If you see more segments than expected added to the NUR, check your template and scenario selection before proceeding further.

Where to get help

Check your organisation’s internal process for expanding networks across your full area of responsibility.

Contact the NHVR Network Management or Spatial support team for assistance if the import results are not what you expected.
