Reports
The application comes with Jasper reports engine. That helps administrator to create own reports.
The JasperReports Library is one of the world's most popular reporting engine. It is able to use data coming from any type of data source and produce pixel-perfect documents that can be viewed, printed or exported in a variety of document formats including HTML, PDF, Excel, OpenOffice and Word.

Keep on mind that any font used in the reports should be installed in the OpenKM server. For example, if you are using Arial (sample provided reports use this font) you should ensure Arial font is installed. For example, if you are using Ubuntu the package to install is ttf-mscorefonts-installer.
$ apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
In RedHat or CentOS the package is msttcore-fonts. You need to restart the server after this package is installed.
Reports are shown in a table structure.
