Disable Emails for Empty Queries

Users scheduling queries and distributing query results by email can check the Suppress Empty Result checkbox under Distribution Detail when scheduling to prevent an email message from being sent if a query returns no results.

When this checkbox is not selected, an email is sent with a subject of "No matching rows were found." The Suppress Empty Result checkbox is unchecked by default.

Users who currently distribute Scheduled Query results by email will receive more information by email.
