Data Table field changes for Dashboards

Splunk Dashboard newbie here and so far no search has yielded an answer. Right now I am building a Dashboard for management using the Data table Panel type. Right now the tables are showing the fields: times, host, index, source, sourcetype. I need the data tables to display some of my custom fields. This sounds very easy so I assume I am just missing something. Is this possible?

try adding the

<fields>_time, host, source, sourcetype, field1, field2,etc..</fields>

attribute right under the search that populates the dashboard.
see if this helps
