Dashboard charts with no underlying data

Sing C

Is there a way to dynamically display dashboard widgets based on whether there is any underlying data? I have a new project based on a template set, which includes logs for risks, issues, etc - standard stuff.

Project Dashboard has a number of chart widgets to surface different information, a couple of which breaks out the data for issues in different ways (by status, by severity), but because the project has just started, there are no issues logged, so the widgets look like this, which isn't clean and suggests there is an issue with the dashboard.

Would prefer if there a way to not display widgets is no data is present or provide a customisable message.

Hi @Sing Chen

There currently isn't a way to display a custom message on chart widgets when there is no source data yet; please let our Product team know about your feedback through this form, here.

In the meantime, you could add a text widget with a short description to help users know what the error message represents.

Cheers,

Genevieve

Thank you @Genevieve P. Unfortunately the nature of our work means your suggested solution would involve a degree of regular manual intervention with the dasbhoard, to add and remove an explanatory text widget when the situation changes between there being no data versus having data.

Appreciate the timely response and I'll submit an enhancement request shortly.
