# Customize data view fields
You can add fields to a data view after ingest, and change how Kibana displays existing fields.

- <applies-to>Elastic Stack: Deprecated</applies-to> <applies-to>Elastic Cloud Serverless: Unavailable</applies-to> [Scripted fields](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4120/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/data-views/scripted-fields): Compute values at query time from a script.
- [Format data view fields](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4120/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/data-views/field-formatters): Change how Kibana displays field values.
