Options (File Layout/Query Setup) Tab

The Options tab (alternatively File Layout/Query Setup) contains controls for the transform which are not transaction and field specific.

The controls change depending on the transform being configured.

The Connector transforms each have settings to specify the input configuration.
The Filter transform has an Option tab that can only change the Transform Id.
For Reader transforms, the File Layout tab records the path to the import file's location, and settings specific to the reader being used.
