Hello everyone,

I have something in Kibana like this:

 ![kibana1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/5/f5846a1a18f343a8b0d3f27e6326f55617e93927.png)

What I want to do is add more columns to it:

I want to know if it's possible to add columns dinamically/automatically without having to click on the add button.

For example for every item on the left I would have a new column:

![kibana4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/b/3b961833068d986917084ff217764a2b53f0f535.png)

The documentation I read [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/document-data.html#adding-columns) doesn't mention this possibility.

The problem is that I have multiple dashboards for multiple services that I would like to present metrics without having to manually add each metric by hand.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance
