## Improved dataset configuration in Log Explorer

[Log Explorer](https://developers.cloudflare.com/log-explorer/)

Log Explorer has a refreshed dataset configuration experience in the Cloudflare dashboard. The new controls make it easier to choose which fields and events Log Explorer ingests.

- **Grouped field selection** organizes fields by category and shows the number selected in each group.
- **Field details** identify each field's data type and mark required or deprecated fields.
- **Bulk controls** let you select all fields or reset the selection to the dataset defaults.
- **Ingestion filters** let you ingest all events or only events that match your conditions.

These controls are available when you add a dataset or select **Actions** > **Edit** for an enabled dataset.

For more information, refer to [Configure fields and filters](https://developers.cloudflare.com/log-explorer/manage-datasets/#configure-fields-and-filters).
