Summary: Configure publish targets, linked forms, device type, connected data sources, and behavior options before you save.

Use **More settings** when you want to configure how the data source behaves beyond its basic field structure.

## Open more settings

1. Open the editor.
2. Click **More settings** in the top-right toolbar.

The settings that appear depend on the kind of data source you are editing.

## Configure the main settings

Common settings include:

- **Site**
  Use this when the data source is not already locked to a specific site.
- **Next form in sequence**
  Use this when one form should lead users to another form after they finish.
- **Publish to**
  Use this to publish the data source to selected channels.
- **WebhookURL**
  Use this when the data source needs to send information to another system.
- **Type**
  Use this when you need to control the broader device type behind the data source.

## Connect other data sources

Use **Connected data sources** when the current data source needs to reference or calculate against values from other data sources.

This is especially helpful for:

- calculated values
- reference lookups
- multi-source workflows

## Use behavior flags

More settings can also include behavior options such as:

- **Static**
  Use this when the data source should hold a single current record instead of a time-series history.
- **Vlookup Table**
  Use this when other data sources should be able to reference entries from this source.
- **Enable GeoLocation**
  Use this when entries should include geographic location data.

For custom data sources, you may also see collection-related information that helps explain how entries are stored.

## Review AI-generated fields carefully

If you used **AI Assist** to draft the data source:

- confirm that each field has the right type
- review whether a matching metric was selected
- create or select a metric manually when no relevant metric exists yet
- review validation limits before saving

## Save carefully when expressions change

If you edit value expressions on an existing data source, Zira can ask whether existing readings should be recalculated.

Use this carefully when the data source is already in active use.
