1. From the Navigation editor, select the new item from the list of Unused Reports at the left.

2. Drag the selected report into the menu area at the right and place it where you want it to appear in the menus. The existing menu items will shift to make room for the new item.

3. When you complete your changes, click Save.

For the the full list of available reports that can be added to the Splunk App for Enterprise Security using the Navigation editor, see the "Reports" list in this manual.
