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.
