When a user runs a query and no records satisfy the criteria, it's important to provide clear feedback rather than leaving them staring at a blank screen. Display messages like "No matched records found" or "No matched employees based on your select criteria" help users understand the outcome and guide them to refine their search. This practice improves user experience by offering meaningful information and closing the feedback loop.
Developers should consider implementing such messages in dashboards, reporting tools, and database interfaces to maintain clarity and reduce confusion.
