This feature allows you to customize the URL so that you can edit some of the content at the source, which can be useful if you'e working with a large dataset.

Options Description
Start (optional)

Determines at which row of of the dataset to start fetching the data. By default position is at 0.

You may want to start at a position different than 0 if you are importing your data in batches. This is a workaround when you have a lot of data and performance is impacted.

Number of rows to fetch (optional) Determines how many rows of the dataset to fetch. If not specified, the dataset will return up to 1,000,000,000 rows.
User-friendly column names If checked, the columns will have a descriptive name instead of their codified name (e.g.: Column "Indicator title" would be returned instead of column "1822")
Fetch empty columns If checked, each rows will include all the columns, even those without data. Otherwise, only columns with data will be included.
Default columns* If checked, the default columns of the dataset will be returned. If not, please select the columns to return.(See details below) 

*Default columns

By default LogAlto chooses what it believes to be the most pertinent columns for the dataset. However, you can overwrite this setting and select the columns that are relevant to you. If unchecked you will be able to check each column you want returned in your dataset. Those left unchecked will be left out.
