Hi Experts,

I have a very basic requirement , right now I am using 3 filters to create a data table as shown below .

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/1/1c446613bde5311a201cc2c12759318986594f03.png)

Here I am using 3 filters , now I want to provide a name to these filters to make it more understandable , something like

Aggregated :- when eventtype=1  
Correlation :- when eventtype=2  
Base :- when field does not exist.

Please suggest how I can achieve this or If you have any other alternate please suggest .

Thanks  
VG

I don't think you can, but it's a good idea.  
It might be worth raising as a feature request on github.
