+title: Improved dataset configuration in Log Explorer
+description: Select grouped fields and define ingestion filters when adding or editing a Log Explorer dataset.
+date: 2026-08-28
+---
+
+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](/log-explorer/manage-datasets/#configure-fields-and-filters).
