# Customising data types

## Overview

When a [User](https://app.gitbook.com/s/eJJpVMsUARUJq9lYmL6t/unified-api/core-concepts#user) authenticates via Terra, you'll start receiving data like activity, sleep, and daily metrics. You can customize settings to receive only the data you need.

You can configure this via [your Terra Dashboard](https://dashboard.tryterra.co/dashboard):

1. Across all data sources
2. For selected data sources only

***

## **1.** Across all data sources

Choose the Data Types you wish to receive to your **Destination**.

1. **🏃🏽‍♀️ Activity**
2. **👷🏼 Daily**
3. **🩺 Body**
4. **💤 Sleep**
5. **🍱 Nutrition**
6. 📆 **Menstruation**

Including **Samples** will provide granular data (a list of readings at specific timestamps).

## **2.** For selected data sources only

Some data sources allow you to restrict the data scopes that you want to request from your end-user.

You can configure scopes for each [Data Source](https://app.gitbook.com/s/eJJpVMsUARUJq9lYmL6t/unified-api/core-concepts#source-provider-integration) (integration) as follows:

1. Go to your Terra Dashboard account > Connections
2. Select the Data Source you wish to edit
3. Choose the "Edit" option
4. Click on the "Edit Permissions" tab and choose your scopes.
