## UI Terminology
Lens has a lot of UI elements to make it easier to refer to them in issues or bugs, this is a hopefully complete list:
* **Top nav** Navigation menu on top of the app (contains Save button)
* **Query bar** Input to enter KQL or Lucene query below the top nav
* **Filter bar** Row of filter pills below the query bar
* **Time picker** Global time range configurator right to the query bar
* **Data panel** Panel to the left showing the field list
* **Field list** List of fields separated by available and empty fields in the data panel
* **Index pattern chooser** Select element switching between index patterns
* **Field filter** Search and dropdown to filter down the field list
* **Field information popover** Popover showing data distribution; opening when clicking a field in the field list
* **Config panel** Panel to the right showing configuration of the current chart, separated by layers
* **Layer panel** One of multiple panels in the config panel, holding configuration for separate layers
* **Dimension trigger** Chart dimension like "X axis", "Break down by" or "Slice by" in the config panel
* **Dimension popover** Popover shown when clicking a dimension trigger
* **Layer settings popover** Popover shown when clicking the button in the top left of a layer panel
* **Workspace panel** Center panel containing the chart preview, title and toolbar
* **Chart preview** Full-sized rendered chart in the center of the screen
