Empty default filters?

[rlove]

For most of our users, having default filter values is helpful because it means the default report view loads by default.

However, for some of our staff users, it would be better to simply load an empty report and let the user add filter parameters.

Are there any issues with loading a default report with no filters applied?  My understanding is that this would return "all" the data and probably crash the report, but it would be great if there was a work around to avoid this.

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

The work around that you can implement is add a no data band into the report and leave all input controls blank such that the query returns no data and the "no data" band would be displayed. 
In the no data band you can add a text field saying "no data exists".

Hope this is helpful,

Thanks for your reply.  I think I was lost in the detail and missed this main functionality.
