Remove Default Data from Details Window

Question

I recently put together a dashboard that reveals information based on the selection in the Category Selector tool. When the user selects a County, the information specific to that area is displayed in the Details window. This part works great, but I would like to keep the default data from appearing when the app opens (highlighted in red in my screenshot). I only want the data to be displayed once the user selects a county. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

Thanks for sharing a link to your Dashboard - looks great!

Derek,

Thank you for confirming that this is not currently possible. I upvoted the Idea request.

I did, thankfully, realize a workaround for now. Since it's based on the first ObjectID, I just added a blank row and then cut/paste the original data back into the feature class. This did the trick and now the Details window is blank once I open the Dashboard.

This is a Public Dashboard and you're welcome to take a look at it here:

Hi Clayton,

This workflow is currently not possible in Ops Dashboard. Sorry. Please vote for the enhancement request,

Allow "No Data on Opening of Dashboard" Option for Gauges/Indicators

EDIT: Any chance you could share the link to your Dashboard if it's public? Thanks.

Hope this helps,
