Specify What Appears for a Data Container that Contains No Data

You can specify what appears for a data container when there is no data available. For example, you can have text appear that states that there is no data available for a list object in a report. This can be done for lists, crosstabs, charts, maps, repeaters, repeater tables, and table of contents objects.

Steps

1. Click a data container.

2. In the Properties pane, click the select ancestor button  and click the data container type.

   For example, if the data container is a list, click List.

3. Set the No Data Contents property to Yes.

   Two tabs appear at the top of the data container.

4. Click the no data contents tab .

5. In the Insertable Objects pane, on the Toolbox tab, insert the objects that you want to appear when there is no data available.
