Managing OS Select+Build recipes
Step-by-step instructions on how to create and manage your OS Select+Build recipes.
This guide will help you get started with creating, managing and deleting recipes in your OS Select+Build Recipe Library.
The following sub-sections on this page cover:
How do I create a new recipe?
Before you create a data package to receive your OS NGD data, you'll need to create a recipe.
Log into your OS Data Hub account
Click Login on the OS Data Hub menu bar to log into your account.
Add details to the recipe
Give your recipe a descriptive name.
Add a detailed description for your recipe.
Select your OS NGD data by choosing the themes, collections and feature types you want to include in your recipe.
(Optional) Add filters to the feature types, if needed; more information about this is available on the Getting started with attribute filtering page.
(Optional) Choose a data schema version
If you wish to choose which schema version (where applicable) you'd like to receive the data in for a feature type, click on the feature type name within the tree view in the secondary navigation menu, then choose a data schema version from the drop-down box in the right-hand side panel.
Please note
We recommend defining a naming convention for your organisation before creating OS NGD recipes and / or data packages.
Adding filters to feature types is an optional step for those with advanced OS data knowledge; see the Getting started with attribute filtering page for more information on applying filters and step-by-step instructions.
Selecting a data schema version for a feature type is an optional step; if you don't choose a particular data schema version for a feature type, OS Select+Build will always select the latest available data schema version for you for each feature type by default. See the Data schema versioning page for more information.
