SPLK-1001 Splunk Basics and Interface Navigation Practice Question
A user wants to view only the fields that appear in the current search results, without seeing all extracted fields. Which option should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often mistake 'Selected fields' as the option showing fields in current results, but 'Selected fields' only shows fields the user has manually selected. The correct option is 'All fields', which lists all fields extracted from the current search results.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
All fields
The 'All fields' option in Splunk displays all fields that appear in the current search results, allowing users to see the complete list of extracted fields without filtering. This is distinct from 'Selected fields', which shows only the fields the user has manually selected, and 'Interesting fields', which shows a heuristic-based subset that may not include all fields present in the results.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Field picker
Why it's wrong here
Field picker is used to add or remove fields from the search results display, but it does not show only the fields present in the current results.
- ✗
Selected fields
Why it's wrong here
Selected fields shows only the fields that the user has manually selected to display, not necessarily all fields appearing in the current search results.
- ✓
All fields
Why this is correct
All fields displays the complete list of fields that appear in the current search results, which matches the user's goal of viewing only the fields present without seeing all extracted fields.
- ✗
Interesting fields
Why it's wrong here
Interesting fields shows a subset of fields that Splunk considers statistically or semantically interesting, which may not include all fields present in the current results.
