# Missing Result on Rules

## Overview

By default, Missing input data will be treated as a null value, causing **Rules** to evaluate as**True** or **False** based on their conditions. Rules can be configured to enable a Missing Result outcome, creating a new outcome path to handle missing input data if used in a **Flow**.

## Enabling Missing Result

The following example will demonstrate a Rule with **Show Missing Result** enabled.

1. [Create a Rule](/v9/docs/create-rules) and define a few inputs and conditions.
2. In the Properties Panel, navigate to Output and check **Show Missing Result**. A new outcome will appear, labeled as **Missing**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-17_14h11_27.png)
3. Debug the Rule. Notice that if input values for the condition are missing, the Rule will evaluate it as Missing.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-17_14h12_46.png)
