How to create a reports subpanel?

Question

I want to create a reports subpanel with a relationship to target lists so that I can just add reports to a target list and set a schedulers to dynamically update the list from the linked reports. I know this question has been asked many times but I can't find the answer anywhere.

You can't see the reports module in studio so I tried to create the relation/subpanel by code but reports module is not sidecar yet so it doesn't seem to have the subpanel view. I think I need to create this but it's not working for me. Has anyone done it yet and can you share code or tell me what files to create/edit?

I managed to create the reports sub panel by creating a subpanel for Bugs on the target list module, and then iterating through all the files it created and renaming Bugs to Reports (module name) and Bug to SavedReport (bean name) and changing the contents in the way. Just use a good IDE with a decent search feature and search for the join name to find all the files that need updating. Then just update the join table name in the database and it works ok.
