Customizing the OOTB report

We want to generate a report which should provide us the list of pages available within the branch based on their size. This report is not available within the OOTB reports. The customer is asking us to write code to generate this report. Is there a way to customize the OOTB reports and add new reports?

I dont understand the complexcity of the problem here, you might need to better explain your requirements, as far your current description it looks you are looking about file information in a branch.
This can be easiy done using some scripting or java (I don't think you need even cssdk for this)

ok we want to generate a report which should provide me a result of pages within a branch. It should provide me the number of pages within a branch. It should also provide me number of sites within a branch.

I don't have any readymade code for you but you can start working on any of the approaches like perl/java (I prefer java) and configure with in a workflow with email/group email task etc.
You can also look for other developers response if they had done anything with Reporting center.

you can use CSSDK + Teamsite Search for this. Teamsite search does not require a license. Install it, index your branches and you can use CSSDK Search API's to query a lot of stuff within teamsite workareas.

That is the IW way to do it.

Now if your requirement is just a report on files/directories etc in a workarea, you may consider other approaches also. CSSDK is recommended for this as it gives you a better handle on teamsite filesys.
