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.

NOTE: If you customized any pre-packaged summary reports in your previous version, all customizations are preserved during the upgrade. However, the latest version may include some updates to pre-packed reports, including those that you customized. If any updated copies of your customized reports exist, Alloy Navigator Express automatically installs them during the upgrade and adds (Updated in 2024.x.x) to their names. All updated copies are included in the Updated in Alloy Navigator Express2024.x.x report category of the Web App. After the upgrade, you should review each pair of your customized report [ReportName] and its updated copy [ReportName] (Updated in 2024.x.x).
