Splunk Search

How can I see my newly created field alias in a search?

I added an alias field named event_type from the Splunk settings page, but I cannot find the new alias field in the search results.

event_type = source_type

I have not set any private permissions for the field I have created.

Browser & server caching can prevent newly created search objects from appearing immediately. I would log out & log back in and see if it appears then.
