Reports
The application includes the JasperReports engine. This helps administrators create their own reports.
The JasperReports Library is one of the world's most popular reporting engines. 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.
More information about how to build your own reports is available at Creating your own reports.
More information about the JasperReports engine version included with the application is available at Application version compatibility table.
Keep in mind that any font used in the reports should be installed on the OpenKM server. For example, if you are using Arial (the sample provided reports use this font), you should ensure the Arial font is installed. For example, on Ubuntu, the package to install is ttf-mscorefonts-installer.
$ apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
On Red Hat or CentOS, the package is msttcore-fonts. You need to restart the server after this package is installed.
If you are not sure which fonts are available, execute this script from Administration:
import java.awt.*;
for (String font : GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames()) {
print("Font: " + font);
}Reports are shown in a table structure.
