Those fields are described in the table below:

|:-------|:-----|:------------|
| 1 | Report's name | Name of the report definition visible to the users |
| 2 | File | Report design file |
| 3 | Description | Short description |
| 4 | Active flag | If the report can be generated by users |
| 5 | Online display flag | If the report can be presented in dashboard |
| 6 | Background processing flag | If the raport can be generated in background |

After clicking _Ok_, report definition entry is being added to the list. _Show parameters_ button allows to view available input parameters - after providing them, report can be generated.
