Data Source Options let you fine-tune how you get data from certain public sources.

In the housekeeping toolbar, "pick Profile/Preferences under the 'gear' menu".

^

This brings you to a multi-tab page with various account attributes:

• Choose the
  Data Source Options
  tab.
• There is a drop-down list of sources that have fine-tuning options.
• The available settings available vary based on the data source selected.
• When you select a source you see its specific options and explanations.

Some examples of frequently used options:

• American Fact Finder (AFF): I don't ever use those "Margin of Error" series.
• BLS, Occupational Employment Statistics (OES): I just want the most commonly used series.
• Zillow: Less detail, please?
