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?
