What is required for a view menu item to show up as a link in the admin page? I'm creating several views that are to be used as reports. Since they all have a common topic, I'm grouping the views under a sub-path of admin/reports (e.g. admin/reports/data/needs_correction and admin/reports/data/status).

With most admin sections in Drupal, there's usually a landing page that lists all of the sub-content for the section. So, to provide that, I've implemented hook_menu() in the feature that contains the exported report views, as follows:

/**
 * Implements hook_menu().
 */
function MY_menu() {
  $items = array();

  $items['admin/reports/data'] = array(
    'title'             =&gt; 'Data reports',
    'description'       =&gt; 'Various reports on the status of data in the system.',
    'position'          =&gt; 'left',
    'page callback'     =&gt; 'system_admin_menu_block_page',
    'access arguments'  =&gt; array('access administration pages'),
    'file'              =&gt; 'system.admin.inc',
    'file path'         =&gt; drupal_get_path('module', 'system'),
  );

  return $items;
}


The only problem is that, after a cache clear, when I navigate to admin/reports/data, all I get is the message "You do not have any administrative items."
In addition to the report views needing to have "Page" displays with URLs nested under admin/reports/data, I also had to make sure the following settings were enabled under "Page: Menu item entry" settings within the Views:


Type: Normal menu entry
Menu: Management


Without both of these settings, the menu links will not show up under the new custom reports page.
