| *Lens* does not support the visualization of full-text fields, therefore it is not showing them in the data summary. | ||
| If your field is not in the `Available fields` list in *Lens* there may be multiple reasons, here described: | ||
| * the field is a full-text field, therefore it is not showing in the data summary. | ||
| * the field is a Geo field, therefore it is not showing in the data summary prior to v.7.14.0 |

Data analysts are unfamiliar with the concept of mapping. This statement is more for admins.
I would reword this statement so that it applies to analysts, or remove it.
