+* Before applying the final step, you will need to add a specific Parent Menu to
+  use when creating the UI Menu for the report. By default, it will be set with
+  the `SQL Views` menu, which can be changed before creating the UI elements in
+  order to have the report accessible from a different place within Odoo.

 * Finally, click on 'Create UI', to create new menu, action, graph view and
