When a monthly report is created, the company's active operation categories at the time are added by default to the report. If you have already started a monthly report before updating your company's active operation categories and need to report hours and incidents for a new region/operation category, you will need to add the new category to the report.

There are two ways to add a new operation category to an existing report:

1. Click the **+ Add** button next to the region navigation tabs at the top of the page.
2. Click the **Add Category to Report** button from the report Summary page.

## Select New Category

To select the new category, click on the dropdown to see the category options. Existing report categories will be disabled.

<Tip>
  For descriptions of the geographic regions covered by each category, please refer to the [ISP Reporting Guidelines](https://iadc.org/isp-reporting-guidelines/#regions).

After selecting the category, click the **Submit** button. The page will automatically reload with the newly selected operation category.

<Warning>
  This action will add the newly selected category (if not present) to the company's active operation categories so that it will be available on all future reports.
