I am able to not display a table when it is empty I would like to display a view (view\_217) at the same time and not display it when the table has data. Here is the code I tried, but it doesn’t work

$(document).on(‘knack-scene-render.scene\_5’, function(event, scene) {  
// Loop through each scene view, on the page.  
scene.views.map(function(view) {  
if(Knack.models[view.key] && Knack.models[view.key].data && Knack.models[view.key].data.length \< 1) {  
// Remove the specific view.  
$(’#’ + view.key).remove();  
**$(’#view\_217’).show();**  
}  
if(Knack.models[view.key] && Knack.models[view.key].data && Knack.models[view.key].data.length \> 1) {  
**$(’#view\_217’).remove();**  
}  
});  
});

Thanks

Hello Nancy,

Because this loop also run for view **view\_217**

Need to exclude that view from loop.

But how can I check if a table in a certain view has no data?

$(document).on(‘knack-view-render.view\_13’, function (event, view, data) {  
if(Knack.models[view.key] && Knack.models[view.key].data && Knack.models[view.key].data.length \< 1) {  
// Remove the specific view.  
$(’#’ + view.key).remove();  
});  
});

try below code  
$(document).on(‘knack-scene-render.scene\_5’, function(event, scene) {

// Loop through each scene view, on the page.

scene.views.map(function(view) {

if(view.key!=“view\_217”)

{

if(Knack.models[view.key] && Knack.models[view.key].data && Knack.models[view.key].data.length \< 1) {

// Remove the specific view.

$(’#’ + view.key).remove();

$(’#view\_217’).show();

}

if(Knack.models[view.key] && Knack.models[view.key].data && Knack.models[view.key].data.length \> 1) {

$(’#view\_217’).remove();

}

}

});

});
