Part E - Guidelines for Editors and Users of NRVIS 3.3 Roads Layer
This section provides general information and guidelines for editors and users of the NRVIS
roads layer.
Editable Data
The amount of editing rights will depend on the value in the ROAD_AUTHORITY field. If the
ROAD_AUTHORITY is MNR, then full access to geometry and attributes are provided and the
MNR NRVIS user may post the changes. If the ROAD_AUTHORITY is something other than
MNR (Municipal, MTO, Other), the ORN attributes will not be editable but all other attributes are
editable (MNR attributes). If the geometry is edited on non-MNR segments, the version must
be transferred to the Base Data Infrastructure staff to post into the Database.
The table below provides a series of scenarios NRVIS editors or users may encounter and a
solution for these common scenarios.

Scenario 2

Solution:
Scenario 3
Support
Solution:
Jurisdiction field is incorrect (MNR responsible road marked as MTO or
Municipality; this would mean that MNR staff cannot spatially edit the MNR
road segment)
Contact a member of the Base Data Infrastructure staff and ask them to
change the Jurisdiction value to MNR. If the user was correct, the change will
be made and posted to the database. The user will then be able to edit the
MNR road segment.
NRVIS road segment layer is incorrect spatially
If the MNR road segment is a MNR responsibility, correct the spatial geometry
of the NRVIS road segment layer.
If the NRVIS road segment is not MNR responsibility and you feel you have
more accurate data than the data portrayed in the NRVIS roads, you can
update the segment and transfer the version to a Base Data Infrastructure
staff member. They will contact the appropriate people and determine if the
version can be posted to the database.
NRVIS road segment layer has incorrect tabular data
If the NRVIS road segment is MNR responsibility, correct the tabular data for
the NRVIS road segment.
If the NRVIS road segment is not MNR responsibility and the tabular errors are
in the ORN fields which will be marked as read-only in NRVIS, contact a Base
Data Infrastructure staff member and inform them of the error. If the tabular
problems are in editable fields, correct the errors in NRVIS.
