Spatial Map Series Map Extent for Lines

LLyons

Hello! I have created a spatial map series based off the results I got from using the Generate Origin-Destination Links tool. The origins are home location of families attending a daycare and destinations are the locations of the daycares. The issue I'm having is I cannot get the individual map series pages to show the full line of the Origin-Destination link. I've used the page query option so I'm only seeing the lines for families attending the individual childcare location. No matter which map extent I pick in the map series properties window, I cannot see the entirety of all of the lines (from one end to the other) leading to that childcare location. Thanks!

Hmm. 

So, I made some points and pointed them at each other. My students are going to either the school or the ballpark.

Then I apply a page query to the links.

and I'm still only seeing part of my students and my links. 

Here's a solution:

Use Minimum Bounding Geometry with a convex hull on your students

Then use that as your index layer.

Your index layer does not need to be turned on for the spatial map series to work. Also, make sure that your extent is not locked the way mine was-- it was "center and maintain scale" and that wasn't helpful.

 

 

If you don't want to do that, though, I did notice that using a point layer as the index layer will only allow you to center and maintain scale, so try bumping that up to a better scale if you don't want to do the whole minimum bounding geometry thing.
