Duplicating a Network Update Request – How to duplicate an Update Request so the same changes apply across multiple networks and are submitted together

What this guide does

This guide explains how to duplicate a Network Update Request so that identical changes are applied to the same segments across multiple networks. It helps you efficiently repeat approved access, conditions or restrictions without rebuilding each NUR from scratch.

Prerequisites

NHVR Portal account with Road Manager access.

Access to Network Management and a completed Network Update Request ready for submission.

The NUR must not include co managed segments; duplication is not available for co managed NURs.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the NHVR Portal and log in using your Road Manager account.

2. Open the Network Update Request that you want to duplicate. Ensure that all segments, conditions and restrictions are correct.

4. Review the list of related vehicles displayed. This list shows vehicles that currently use the existing network so you understand the impact of applying the same change to other networks.

5. On the right-hand side of the pop up, use the drop down box to search for and select additional networks where you want the same changes to be applied.

6. For each additional network you select, an identical Network Update Request is created with the same segments, access decisions, conditions and restrictions.

9. Complete the normal submission process for the original NUR. When you submit it, all duplicate NURs against the selected networks are automatically submitted at the same time.

Tips and common issues

Use duplication only when the changes are truly identical across networks, including segments and conditions. If you need to vary conditions between networks, consider using cloning instead.

Duplication is not available if the NUR includes co managed segments, because co managers may approve some roads and not others and duplicates are treated as a single package.

Check the list of selected networks carefully before submitting, as applying global changes in error may require multiple corrections.

Where to get help

Check internal policies for when it is appropriate to apply the same changes across multiple networks.

Contact the NHVR Network Management support team if the duplication options are not available when expected.
