Empty or Unknown Items on a Report

An <empty> item displays on a Vision custom report if a Vision field is blank or a row contains subtotals or totals. An Unknown item displays on a Vision custom report if a Vision field contains bad, invalid, or orphaned data.

Item Cause

<empty>

Possible causes:

  • A Vision field is blank with no data entered in it. For example, a Vision Address field (a non-required field) may be blank.

  • A row contains subtotals or totals.

To remove <empty> or Unknown items from a report, click the down arrow beside Row Labels or Column Labels, and from the list of report items, clear the check box beside the <empty> or Unknown items.

Unknown

A Vision field contains bad, invalid, or orphaned data. The source of bad data might be a problem with conversions, history loading, or importing.
