What this guide does
This guide explains how to use the Data Import Tool to change or remove managed roads already on a network.
This guide is used when you need to update the status of multiple managed roads or remove them entirely in one import.
This guide helps road managers keep network content aligned with current managership and conditions.
Prerequisites
NHVR Portal (NHVR Go) account with Road Manager access.
Access to Network Management and the relevant network.
Permission to create or edit a Network Update Request (NUR) for that network.
Network already contains some or all of your managed roads.

Step-by-step instructions
Log Open NHVR Go in your browser and log in with your Road Manager account.
From the menu, select Access management, then select Vehicle networks so the Vehicle Networks table is displayed.
Locate the relevant network and create a Network Update Request (NUR) or open an existing NUR. Click Save Draft. Be sure not to submit the NUR as the select Import network segments option will not appear.
4. Click the three dots (⋯) next to the NUR number and select Import Segments.
Open the template in Excel and locate the scenario Change Managed Roads Currently On Network.
Assess the most appropriate information from the ‘Options’ at the bottom of the sheet.
7. Complete the template so that:
a) The segments you want to change or remove are correctly identified (for example through the columns provided in the template).
b) The new status or outcome for each segment is specified, such as changing its status or marking it to be removed from the network.
c) Any condition or restriction text is entered where required; this will be imported as free text conditions or restrictions.
8. Save the completed template as a CSV.
9. Drag and drop the template file into the Data Import Tool upload area.
10. Wait while the system validates your entries. Fix any highlighted errors in the template and re-upload if needed.
11. When validation is successful, click Import Data. The specified managed roads on the network will be changed to the new status or removed, in line with the scenario and options you selected.
12. After the completion notification appears, go back to the NUR and review the updated list of segments to confirm that all changes are correct.
Tips and common issues
Use this scenario when you want to change the presence or status of managed roads on a network, not their access levels (which are covered by a different scenario).
Double-check that you have correctly identified the segments to change; bulk changes can be difficult to undo.
If the result is not what you expect, review the scenario and values used in the template before proceeding to submit the NUR.
Where to get help
Check with your organisation’s mapping or asset management team if you are unsure which segments should remain in a network.
Contact the NHVR Network Management or Spatial support team for guidance if your import appears to remove or change too many segments.
