# No Data Template

The `NoDataTemplate` allows you to define custom content when the Grid has no data to show. It lets you change the default **No records available** localizable text.

The Grid will also show its default or custom `NoDataTemplate` while loading its initial data. To help users distinguish between the "no data" and "still loading" states, [display a LoaderContainer over the Grid on initial load](https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/documentation/components/grid/loading-animation#example).
