*Lens* does not support the visualization of full-text fields, therefore it is not showing them in the data summary.
Fields do not appear in the *Available fields* in the following scenarios:
* The field is a full-text field.
* The field is a `geo_point` field
* The field is a `flattened` field.
* The field is a `object` field.

Verify if the field appears in the *Empty fields* list. *Lens* uses heuristics to determine if the fields contain values. For sparse data sets, the heuristics are less precise.
