I am new to Splunk and I am creating a dashboard with events. I would like to create a new field on the event which will have a value based on another field.

P.S I already included the existing field as part of search .

For example:

When existing field has 'XXX' in it, I need to populate 'ABC' in the new field and 'YYY' as 'CDE'
