Looking through the reporting scripting i am not seeing a getReportNames function much like the getWindowsNames for parsing the available windows.  
Reason i ask is i use this function currently to fill a tree view control for report navigation to all the different windows that have all the reports on them.  
With the new reporting we know would have the ability to have single report viewing window and just bind the repotPath property to the correct report selected for the tree control.

Is this something i have overlooked?

No, it’s something we overlooked! Honestly, just hadn’t thought of that use case.

We can look into adding that, shouldn’t be too hard.

We’ve added two functions for 7.8.1. One is optimized for use in the Tree View, the other is a list.
