Managing summary report categories

Summary reports are broken down by report categories. Each summary report can be assigned to an unlimited number of categories. Report categories are organized as a hierarchical tree. When building the tree of categories, you can add new categories and add new subcategories within existing categories as well as move, modify, and delete them.

The categories tree always includes system "All Reports" and "Uncategorized" nodes. "All Reports" includes all existing reports, "Uncategorized" includes reports that are not assigned to any category. The "All Reports" and "Uncategorized" categories cannot be changed in any way.
