== Viewing Document Data
|
|
|
|
When you submit a search query, the 500 most recent documents that match the query
|
|
are listed in the Documents table. You can configure the number of documents shown
|
|
in the table by setting the `discover:sampleSize` property in <<advanced-options,
|
|
Advanced Settings>>. By default, the table shows the localized version of the time
|
|
field configured for the selected index pattern and the document `_source`. You can
|
|
<<adding-columns, add fields to the Documents table>> from the Fields list.
|
|
You can <<sorting, sort the listed documents>> by any indexed field that's included
|
|
in the table.
|
|
|
|
To view a document's field data, click the *Expand* button

|
|
link. You can bookmark and share this link to provide direct access to a
|
|
particular document.

=== Sorting the Document List
|
|
You can sort the documents in the Documents table by the values in any indexed
|
|
field. If a time field is configured for the current index pattern, the
|
|
documents are sorted in reverse chronological order by default.
|
|
|
|
To change the sort order, hover over the name of the field you want to sort by
|
|
and click the sort button. Click again to reverse the sort order.

=== Adding Field Columns to the Documents Table
|
|
By default, the Documents table shows the localized version of the time field
|
|
that's configured for the selected index pattern and the document `_source`.
|
|
You can add fields to the table from the Fields list or from a document's
|
|
field data.
|
|
|
|
To add a field column from the Fields list, hover over the field and click its
|
|
*add* button.
|
|
|
|
To add a field column from a document's field data, expand the document
|
|
and click the field's
|
|
image:images/add-column-button.png[Add Column] *Toggle column in table* button.
|
|
|
|
Added field columns replace the `_source` column in the Documents table. The added
|
|
fields are also added to the *Selected Fields* list.
|
|
|
|
To rearrange the field columns, hover over the header of the column you want to move
|
|
and click the *Move left* or *Move right* button.
