Let's review the steps for creating an OD map. We'll cover the process for those with a Visum model and those without.

Getting started with a Visum model

To create or select a Visum model with origin-destination and matrix data, follow these steps:

1. Go to File and select Export, then Visum Publisher... in the latest version of Visum.
2. Log into your PTV Publisher subscription (if needed). If you haven't subscribed to PTV Publisher yet, sign up for a free 30-day trial by following the prompts.
3. Once in the Export dialog, click on the Matrices button and select your data set. Then, click OK.
4. Click Next and select or create a new model and scenario for the Publisher upload.
5. Finally, click Export to complete the process.

Great news! You're moving to the cloud! The data transfer tool will launch automatically, giving you time to grab a coffee. When you return, your data will be ready and waiting in your Publisher subscription!

Wait, what if you don't have Visum yet?

Even if you don't have Visum, you can still create Publisher dashboards in your subscription. All you need to do is find a friend who has Visum and invite them to your account as an editor. They can export a dataset for you. Alternatively, if you have a .dashdata file, you can import the data manually. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Download our Publisher data set for the "Dem_4-step_Result_ModeSplit.ver" example in Visum: https://ptv2box.ptvgroup.com/index.php/s/QKejRW8piZP6ec6
2. In Publisher's data manager area, create a new model and scenario.
3. Select the scenario, and click "add data manually".
4. Navigate to your downloaded .dashdata file and select it.

Great! Your data is loading and in a few minutes, then you will be ready for the next steps.

Note: When you upload data using the transfer tool in Visum, it creates a temporary Zip file in the local AppData folder. This file can be found at C:\Users\"your.name"\AppData\Local\Temp\VISUM. If you need to manually upload files, change the extension of the .zip file to .dashdata. Agencies can use this file to exchange data with many Publisher users ??.

Create your first Origin-Destination Dashboard!

Got data!? Let's go!

1. Create a new dashboard in Publisher.
2. Add a Static Map widget from the sidebar menu.
3. Add an OD pair layer
4. Select your data source
5. Choose your main attribute data, such as Bike!

Great! You have generated OD pairs. Now, it's time to add mapping details by specifying your data start and end range as well as color. In the settings menu, you can choose between a "directionally separated" OD line or a "Cross-section" that represents the total of both directions.

You can also set up custom filters to remove data sets or use Limits to highlight only the top data pairs for various attributes.

Nice work! You've created an OD dashboard! Let us know how it went and send us some feedback!
