Yes, you can customize the nodes shown in the Navigation Sidebar' (aka:
Report Outline). Use the Report.OnOutlineNodeCreate event:

Declaration

property OnOutlineNodeCreate: TppOutlineNodeCreateEvent;

Description

This event fires whenever an outline node is created during the report
generation process. When enabled, an outline tree structure is dynamically
generated by the report engine and rendered by the report previewer.

The OutlineSettings property is used to control the behavior of report
outline generation. The OnOutlineNodeCreate event can be used to further
customize the outline as it is being generated.

The aNode parameter is the node being created. Set the aNode.Caption
property to modify the default caption assigned to the node.

The aAccept parameter defaults to True. Set aAccept to False to prevent the
node from being included in the report.

You can also check the aNode.NodeType propery to see what component type the
node represents.

Add ppOutlineNode to your uses clause when using this event handler.

Cheers,
