Field Picker

noun

List of fields next to your search results in Splunk Web. Clicking on a field name lets you do lots of cool things, like see a histogram of the most common values for the field or restrict your search to events that contain that field (adds field_name="*" to your search).

Clicking on Pick Fields lets you choose which fields are displayed directly under events in your search results (host, source, and source type are picked by default). You can hide all of this by clicking on the double-arrow icon at the top right of the Field Picker.
