Reporting

Archivematica needs to be able to produce reports in the following ways:
- During ingest processing, to assist the archivist to have a better understanding of what's in the SIP and to make appraisal decisions. These reports would appear at pre-determined points during processing and may or may not be retained as part of the AIP.
- After SIPs have been fully processed, to support ongoing preservation planning and administrative activities. These reports would be run through queries input by the user.
The primary user interface for generating, viewing and saving reports would be the dashboard.

Processing reports

Summary of FITS output providing technical information on ingested files to assist with Approve SIP for preservation micro-service (Issue 179)
- Report elements: mime types; presence and type of compression; presence of unknown mime types; presence of files with no file extensions; filesize; other?
Normalization reports: Generate a report which summarizes the results of normalization, with details for each object (Issue 373)
- Report elements: normalized yes/no; if yes what category (image/AV/document etc); normalization failures; files with no default normalization paths

Processing reports could be accessed through the micro-services area of the dashboard, as in the following mock-up:

Normalization/ preservation planning reports:
- find objects for which there was no normalization path
- find objects that failed normalization
- find objects of mime type x
- find objects with compression algorithm x
- find audio/video files with codec x
Access restriction reports (see Workflow#Access_restriction_workflows for workflow context):
- Find AIPs for which no DIPs were generated
- Find files in DIPs that have not been uploaded to the access system
- Find files or SIPs with specified access restrictions (restricted, confidential, closed, under copyright, etc.)
- Find files or SIPs with access restrictions expiring on a specified date
