Cloning a Network Update Request – How to clone an Update Request to other networks so you can adjust and submit each clone separately

What this guide does

This guide explains how to clone an existing Network Update Request to other networks. It shows how to create draft copies of a submitted NUR so you can adjust segments or conditions for each network and submit each cloned request individually.

Prerequisites

NHVR Portal account with Road Manager access.

Access to Network Management and a Network Update Request that has already been submitted.

A clear understanding of which additional networks require similar changes, with some local variation if needed.

Step-by-step instructions

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

2. Open the workflow tab for the Network Update Request you want to clone.

4. In the clone window, enter a search word to find networks that should receive the cloned request (for example, a network name or part of a name).

5. Select one or more networks from the search results. There is no system limit to the number of networks you can clone to at one time.

6. Confirm the cloning action. The system creates a new draft Network Update Request against each chosen network, containing the same proposed changes as the original NUR.

7. Open each cloned NUR in turn and review the segments, access decisions, conditions and restrictions. Make any network specific adjustments required (for example, adding extra segments or changing condition parameters).

8. Submit each cloned NUR individually through the normal workflow process when you are satisfied with the changes for that network.

Tips and common issues

Use cloning when networks need similar but not identical changes. You can fine tune each cloned NUR before submission.

Cloned NURs remain in draft until you submit them, even though the original NUR has already been submitted. This allows extra local review and consultation if required.

Keep track of which networks have had their clones submitted to avoid leaving draft NURs incomplete.

Where to get help

Check with your organisation’s planning or network teams to confirm which networks should receive cloned changes.

Contact the NHVR Network Management support team if the clone option is not visible in the workflow tab.
