Reports are used to organize and present the application's data to a user in a human readable form. 

They are implemented using two files: an XML file used to define the report criteria and information displayed, and a JRXML file used to define the report layout.

Reports can be generated in any of the following forms: PDF, EXCEL, CSV and HTML.
