Speaking of report ...
This feature allows you to post the reports created from BIRT Report Designer on the platform. The reports created from this tool have an XML file and an .rptdesign extension, which should be selected as the main file as they are posted.
Create new report
01. In the location where you wish to create a report, click on New, located in the action bar on the top left of the window.

Click on Choose files to select a report from the workstation or Copy ECM file to select a report that has already been posted on the platform.
This tab allows you to transfer the report from a workstation to the platform. That transference, which is called upload, is required because, in order to post a report, it must be initially written in the area used for the files to be posted. Although this is a single directory determined in General parameters, the platform automatically creates an upload area for each user in this directory. According to this configuration, each user views only the documents within their upload area.
Find and select the report to be posted. Select the extension file rptdesign from the report as the main one.
Select Clear upload directory after posting it (optional). When it is checked, the files located in the upload directory will be deleted once the document is posted.
