Hello, Just some constructive feedback. When data is added to a SIEM timeline and the results are analyzed, it seems every field has a description column, which imho takes a huge amount of space, which could be used for more interesting things.. Maybe the ECS field description could only be shown when hovering over a little information icon instead of being shown by default for every field? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/d/7dbd09a017e5446e42bfcb152ad4ade7df5fdd41.png) Grtz Willem ---
