Step-by-step instructions
1. Log in to NHVR Go and open Access Management.
2. Open Vehicle networks and select the network you want to update.
3. Create a Network Update Request (NUR) or open a draft Network Update Request (NUR) for that network.
4. After the NUR is created, locate the NUR number and click the three dots (⋯) to the right of the NUR.
5. Select Import Segments. A blank import table opens with options to import data.
6. Choose the option to upload from source file using a template.
7. Click the link to download the template. The template opens in Excel and includes:
a) Column headings showing what data is required.
b) Example data at the bottom of the template as a guide.
8. In Excel, enter your network changes into the main rows of the template, following the column headings and any notes in the template.
9. Save the completed template to your computer.
10. Return to the Import Segments window and drag and drop the saved template file into the upload area.
11. Wait while the system checks the file. Any invalid fields will be highlighted (for example in red).
12. Correct any errors in your template if needed, then re-upload.
13. When the file is valid, click Import Data. The system processes your changes and generates a notification when the import is complete.
14. After the import is completed, review the results table for the NUR and then click Back to return to the NUR, where all imported segments are now included. Adjust or remove segments as required using normal NUR tools.
Tips and common issues
Use the example row at the bottom of the template as a guide for how to format your data.
Always check that you are working on the correct network and NUR before running a bulk upload, as large changes can be applied in one step.
If the system marks fields as invalid, review the exact text in the template (for example spelling, codes or IDs) and correct them before retrying.
Keep a copy of the completed template file as a record of the bulk change performed.
Where to get help
Check your organisation’s internal process for bulk network changes and approvals.
Contact the NHVR Network Management or Spatial support team if you are unsure which template or scenario to use.
