What this guide does
This guide explains how network duplication works in NHVR Go. It describes what is copied when you duplicate a network, why duplicated networks are created as standalone, and how they can be used. Use this guide when you want a new network that closely mirrors an existing one without rebuilding all roads and conditions from scratch.It also explains how to publish a standalone network and how to archive a network in NHVR Go.
Prerequisites
NHVR Portal account with Road Manager/Regulator access.
Access to the existing network you want to duplicate.
Agreement within your organisation that a new standalone network is required.

Step-by-step instructionsDuplicate a network:
1. Log in to NHVR Go.
2. Open Access Management then Vehicle Networks.
3. Use the filters to find the network you want to duplicate and click the Vehicle Network Name hyperlink to open it.
4. From the network view, use the available network actions menu to select the option to duplicate the network (labelled Duplicate or similar, depending on your interface).
5. When prompted, provide a name for the duplicated network and confirm the duplication.
6. Wait for the system to create the duplicated network. The new network will:
a) Include all the same roads as the original network.
b) Include all conditions, restrictions and infrastructure points.
7. Note that the duplicated network is created in Standalone status and is not viewable by operators until it is associated with access instruments and vehicle configurations.
8. Open the duplicated network from Standalone Networks and use Network Update Requests to adjust roads, conditions or structures as needed.
9. Remember that any draft or submitted NURs from the original network are not copied; create new NURs on the duplicated network if you need those changes.
Publish a Standalone Network
Open the NHVR Portal (NHVR Go) and log in using your Regulator account.
Navigate to Access Management and select Vehicle Networks.
From the main menu, select Standalone Networks.
Search for the standalone network you want to publish. Locate the network in the list of available Draft standalone networks.
Select the standalone network you want to publish.
Open the network and select Edit.
Review the network details and confirm the Network Type is correct. Select Publish.
Archive a Network
To archive a network, open the published network. Select Delete.
Tips and common issues
Use duplication when you need a similar network for a different instrument or vehicle group, but do not want to re create all mapping work.
Because duplicated networks are standalone, they must go through the usual association with instruments and vehicles before becoming public.
Draft or submitted NURs from the original network are not carried over, so plan to recreate key changes as new NURs.
For duplicated standalone networks, when an Update Request is submitted it is automatically published because the network is not yet public facing.
Where to get help
Contact the NHVR Network Management or Spatial support team if the duplicate option is not visible or the new network does not appear.
