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.

For more information on reporting, see the Report Development technical documentation.

According to this configuration, each user views only the documents within their upload area.
