Hello there

I am trying to do the following:

On my visualise item i have created a data table where i split rows by buckets to list my applications with errors on it.

Its like:  
application1 200  
application2 15  
application 3 1  
application7 5

it does not show up apps without error of course

And i would like to make the string "applicationX" clickable with a hyperlink redirected to it discover saved search

is that possible? through fields formatting for example?

Hi @Kwiskas,

Yes, you should be able to do this using [scripted fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html).

In Kibana, you can go to `Settings > Index Patterns > your pattern > Scripted fields` to add a new scripted field.

You will probably want to add one of type `string` (or `number` might work too), and format `url`.

Then grab the URL to discover and replace the term you want to filter against with `{{value}}`, e.g.

```auto
https://kibana-url/app/kibana#/discover?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now-30m,to:now))&_a=(columns:!(_source),filters:!(('$state':(store:appState),meta:(alias:!n,disabled:!f,index:'90943e30-9a47-11e8-b64d-95841ca0b247',key:response.keyword,negate:!f,params:(query:{{value}}),type:phrase,value:'200'),query:(match:(response.keyword:(query:'200',type:phrase))))),index:'your_pattern_id',interval:auto,query:(language:kuery,query:''),sort:!(timestamp,desc))

```

This is what will go in the URL field.

Hopefully this points you in the right direction - let me know if you have any luck!

Tried but no result ☹

The problem is that the link to the result is different of the result or the value itself

What i have is a dashboard with a response from fields.application

example: if i have 500 errors from a virtual machine named application1 under fields.application tab i see:

application 1 500

and i would like to make "clickable" fields.application resposne when it gets up on my dashboard
