You can temporarily modify the active {data-source} from the *{data-source-cap}* menu by clicking *Advanced settings*, then adding or removing index patterns.
To learn how to modify the default **Security Default Data View**, refer to <<update-sec-indices, Update default {elastic-sec} indices>>.

To learn how to modify, create, or delete another {data-source} refer to {apm-app-ref}/data-views.html[{kib} {data-sources-cap}].

You can also temporarily modify the active {data-source} from the *{data-source-cap}* menu by clicking *Advanced options*, then adding or removing index patterns.

This only allows you to add index patterns that match indices that currently contain data (other index patterns are unavailable). Note that any changes made are saved in the current browser window and won't persist if you open a new tab.

To permanently modify a {data-source}, delete an existing {data-source} or create a new one, you need the required permissions.
To learn more, refer to {apm-app-ref}/data-views.html[{kib} {data-sources-cap}].
NOTE: You cannot update the data view for the Alerts page. It always shows data from `.alerts-security.alerts-default`.
