**Version** : 7.16.3 Hi, everyone I would like to know whether it is possible to remove or hide **Kibana and Signal fields** in **Elastic Security**. When an alert is triggered, you can look over it, here you are a screenshot: ![elastic-security](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/d/6dd2e9f6ead0542d61f28e06adc33130bbabcb76.png) I understand that this information is **useful** , however, in the case of being **agile** , from my point of view, having many fields you can’t see the wood for the trees 🌲 . Thanks in advance πŸ–– , Rodrigo ---

Hi Rodrigo, Have you already experimented with **Timeline Templates**? I've found that creating a **Timeline Template** with the desired set of fields and using that in a rule populates the _Overview_ tab option with the key context I'm looking for. I see it as a workaround to your request, but was wondering what your experience might be. Kind Regards, Matt ---

Hi, @elkn00b I have created a **template** in order to set a **generic fields** : ![templates](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/3/8367e16e83076692dfbd9b41ad46a0929785a6b7.png) Then, I have modified **rule** in order to use that **template** : ![suricata-rule](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/0/8096eff266d7d6bfd4c94d188177cc935c7ba310.png) However, when **alert** is **triggered** , it does not show **template fields** : ![suricata-overview](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/3/a3ecee204aac91988903fb53f51cbebc8ebbe1e2.png) Thanks in advance, Regards ---

Hi Rodrigo, I checked my timeline template to see what I might be doing differently, and I don't have any template fields defined for the filter criteria. The fields I toggle in the table below for column visibility seem to be the fields that show up in the Overview table. I suggest removing the timeline template fields from the search criteria, but ensuring the target fields are toggled into the column view below, and then re-testing. Kind Regards, Matt ---

Hi, @elkn00b Here you are a new screenshot about modified timeline: ![suricata-new-template](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/7/a7379710d1ee0c5b61aa47006f25b1872acfdbcd.png) Thanks in advance, Regards ---

Hi Rodrigo, That's what I've got. Does it populate your Overview tab in the SIEM alerts results when tested? Kind Regards, Matt ---

Hi, @elkn00b It does not populate Overview tab ☹ . Thanks for your support πŸ˜ƒ. Regards ---

Hi @RdrgPorto - Thanks for reaching out here, and thank you @elknoob for working with him to debug. Currently, there isn't actually a direct relationship between the document summary of the fly-out and the template fields. The fields shown in the document summary are based on some fields on the underlying event such as `event.category`. The fact that there's a match for @elknoob is coincidental. I'll make a note of this feedback! For now, one thing you can do is create a timeline template and configure the default columns there. ---
