Empty State View

Intro

When mobile applications do not have access to or can not show data, an Empty State View can be used as a fallback to provide users with messaging about what has happened and what to do next. They can appear in, but are not limited to, cards or page types such as chart cards, chart floor plans, and chart headers.
