# Enable Generating Reports from Workbench Report Definitions

Learn how to configure your Vault to generate _Workbench Reports_ directly from _Workbench Report Definitions_.

## About the Feature

With the 25R2 release, users can generate a _Workbench Report_ directly from a _Workbench Report Definition_. This feature allows users to reuse standard templates for _Workbench Report_ generation. For more information, see <a href="/en/gr/860561/">Generate & Run Reports from Workbench Report Definitions</a>.

## Configure the Generate Report Action on Workbench Report Definitions

To configure the _Generate Report_ action, <a href="/en/gr/43127/#assign-actions">assign</a> the action to the _Workbench Report Definition_ object and do one (1) of the following:
* Select the **Available in All Lifecycle States** checkbox to apply <a href="/en/gr/47850/">atomic action security</a> defaults for the applicable lifecycle states.
* Add the action as a <a href="/en/gr/59885/#define-actions">user action</a> to the applicable states of the _Workbench Report Lifecycle_ object lifecycle.

## Optional: Configure Notification Preferences

By default, Vault sends <a href="/en/gr/7239/#summary-email-delivery-interval">summary notifications</a> instead of immediate alerts. You can configure your <a href="/en/gr/2157/#configuring-notification-preferences">notification preferences</a> depending on your business needs.
