          static final Namer<Report> NAMER

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getName

          @Input
          String getName()

      The symbolic name of this report.

      The name of the report usually indicates the format (e.g. XML, HTML etc.) but can be anything.

      When part of a `ReportContainer`, reports are accessed via their name. That is, given a report container variable named `reports` containing a report who's `getName()` returns `"html"`, the report could be accessed via:

           reports.html

      Returns:
        The name of this report.

    - #### getDisplayName

          @Input
          String getDisplayName()

      A more descriptive name of this report. Used when the report is referenced for end users.
      Returns:
        A more descriptive name of this report.

    - #### getRequired

          @Input
          @Incubating
          Property<Boolean> getRequired()

      A flag that determines whether or not this report should be generated or not.
      Since:
        6.1

    - #### isEnabled

          @ReplacedBy("activated")
          boolean isEnabled()

      Whether or not this report should be generated by whatever generates it.

      If `true`, the generator of this report will generate it at the appropriate time. If `false`, the generator of this report will not generate this report.

      Returns:
        Whether or not this report should be generated by whatever generates it.

    - #### setEnabled

          void setEnabled​(boolean enabled)

      Whether or not this report should be generated by whatever generates it.
      Parameters:
        `enabled` - Whether or not this report should be generated by whatever generates it.
      See Also:
        `isEnabled()`

    - #### getOutputLocation

          @Incubating
          @Internal("Implementations need to add the correct annotation, @OutputDirectory or @OutputFile")
          Provider<? extends FileSystemLocation> getOutputLocation()

      The location on the filesystem to generate the report to.
      Since:
        6.1

    - #### getDestination

          @ReplacedBy("activated")
          File getDestination()

      The location on the filesystem of the report when it is generated.

      Depending on the `output type` of the report, this may point to a file or a directory.

      Subtypes may implement setters for the destination.

      Returns:
        The location on the filesystem of the report when it is generated

    - #### getOutputType

          @Input
          Report.OutputType getOutputType()

      The type of output that the report generates.
      Returns:
        The type of output that the report generates.
