How do I customize the No data to display message when my widget really has no data?

I would like to know if it's possible to customize the "No data to display" message when my widget really has no data. Kindly give some workaround how I can do it. Thanks!

Edit: Adding what I am trying to achieve.

Currently i have donut charts that shows the score, and I would like to display "0" if there is no data to display instead of displaying the message "No Data to Display". I am using donut chart so I could use the "Use Chart colors (if defined)" option

Hi Aldrin,

 

             If you are creating a Widget with no data present, the system by default gives you an error as  "No Data Available" you don't need to customize anything.

 

for Ex:- if you have created an indicator as "Number of Open Incident  by Priority" {here Priority as breakdown} on incident table, and put that indicator to widget and then to dashboard.

[Make sure you done the data collection job as well to collect the data]

if that indicator doesn't contain any data it will automatically shows an error "No Data available".

  

Please Mark this answer as helpful if it works for you.

What I was trying to do, is n my donut chart, if there is no data I would like to show it as 0 instead of "No data to display" is that possible?

I'll add this detail on my question.

Hi,

   

In reports you should see 0 values.

In Performance Analytics you define in indicator to show 0 when value is nil.

{When you are creating an indicator in source tab put "0" in value when nil field}

if your donut chart is contain an indicator edit that indicator and make value when nil field as "0"

In reports, I don't see it as 0. it shows as "No data to display". In this dashboard, I am not using PA widgets. just the reporting widgets.
