I am creating some maps for bird species records, an example for “A” and “B” birds is shown below. I managed to use Data Driven Pages to create a map for each species set of records that show species distribution and breeding status. So far the created maps are fine, however, I have a problem in printing. The DDP keeps repeating printing species map which depends on number of each species records in the index layer. I just want to print one map per species.
I am using ArcMap 10.3
I don't use ArcGis but have used DDP tools in other software so this may apply here. DDP will likely be creating a page for each record in your source table. If you only want one page per species then you may need to create a second table containing one record per bird species and the center point of the map location for that species. This doesn't mean you can't include your original table of data, only that the DDP process will use your new table with unique species as the source for creating each page. Basically you are just using this table to tell DDP how many pages you want, where you want each page to be centred and possibly as a source for other data, e.g. species name in your map layout, though this depends on how this specific DDP tool works.
