I think you would do that by creating a separate Switch function to check for any record(s) and return true or false. For example, if the db read function is called "data_read", create a Switch function called "check_result". Then, under the Data Provider for the "check_result" put:

{var/empty:data_read}.

Then under the Values Setup of "check_result" put :

true:{error: No Record Found}

Hope this helps.

Hi atanunu,

It will be a bit difficult to have something like the 2nd image, because a custom table row should be added.

instead you can change the line in the "check_result" function:
true:{error: No Record Found}{view:css_view}


Create a CSS view and use CSS to hide the table when no records were found.
