This feature helps increase the model's explainability and provides you with a tailored data set. Use it to: - Adjust the variables used in your model when expected conditions change or your understanding of your customer base changes. - Test out different data sets to see which is the best fit for your brand. - Once you've chosen a subset of variables and rebuilt the model to reflect these changes, that data set will be utilized for your model. - The variables shown in [General Variable Usage](https://support.sitezeus.com/en/variable-importance-vs-variable-impact?hsLang=en) section will be the same set you selected within the Variable Selector. **Note:** This functionality is only available for users who have the role of *Administrator*, *Co-Administrator*, or *Model Analyst*. ### Accessing the Variable Selector 1.
