    How to use it: 
    To create a report definition, users must first select the data they want to include in the report. This can be done by selecting fields from the database or by creating custom formulas. Once the data has been selected, users can then define the layout and formatting of the report.

Once all of these settings have been configured, users can save the report definition for future use.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a report definition, it is important to consider how the data will be presented. For example, if there are multiple columns of data, it may be helpful to add a header row that clearly labels each column. Additionally, it is important to consider how the data will be sorted and filtered. This will help ensure that only relevant data is included in the report.
