Gonna take this over @tylerkaraszewski as my fix for other Deploy block should fix this as well, I hope.

The problem is that we have parsing the reportName for basic policy room incorrectly and it ends up being an empty string. Then this line is false and nothing is shown in the View and this throws error on Mobile.

The fix to the parsing should name sure the reportName is wont be false and the blank page should not occur.
