> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

All reports are organized into categories in a hierarchical tree. We recommend keeping reports that monitor related actions in one category. You can manage the categories in the **Reporting** application.

### Creating new categories

1. Open the **Reporting** application.
2. Select the root of the reporting tree (the **All reports** category by default).
3. Click **...** next to the **New report** button and select **New category**.
4. Type a name of the new category into the **Category display name** field.
5. Type a code name or leave it as _(automatic)_.
6. Click **Save**.

The system creates a new report category.
