How to prevent "Activity errors occurred" when using a File Access node with "Check file exists"?

Hello. We have several flows that use File Access nodes with Execution mode = Check file exists. These are used to look for particular files, and if found, do some processing. If the particular file is not found, the flow simply ends. This all works correctly. However, I'm trying to do some clean up so that the Work Units list in Process Server Administrator does not show the red exclamation point icon indicating an error occurred when the particular file isn't found - since this isn't really an error. Is there a way to NOT trigger the error flag when the "Check file exists" returns that the file does not exist? Thank you

There is a check box at the bottom of the node properties that allows for this:

Thank you, Kyle T. That should have been obvious to me

As a note...I was previously using the "On Error" connection to monitor when the file wasn't found. Now that it's not triggering an error condition, I needed to add a Branch node after the File Access node to manually test for the error status code to know whether the file was found or not.
