New Report Category?

Is there any way to have in SO Manager a new category under "Reports"?
Today there are Customer, Sales, Items,... Custom, Memorized. I notice
looking in the Report directory that the reports under each of those
categories, the report name starts with the category name (such as "Custom -
Tender Summary by Date.qrp" or "Items - Item Alias List.qrp").

BTW, I tried renaming a report to "JM - Tender Summary by Date.qrp" to see
if a "JM" category under Reports would show up - NOT.

No, the "Custom" and "Memorized" Headers are the only provisions made
for adding to the menu.

John M,

As Glenn mentioned, there isn't a way, but you can start doing what we =
have been doing for a while.

We have been creating new categories within the Custom section as well =
as duplicating the existing categories

We now name our custom reports as follows;

Custom - Customer - report name
Custom - Item - report name
Custom - Misc - report name=20
Custom - JM - report name
etc.

This way all of you Item reports are together, Customer are together, =
etc.
