TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Based on what you've provided, my guess is that defining a time period and
location is part of a set-up step that happens prior to the running the
report. So, maybe you need two sentences:
1. Define the time period and location for the report. [Perhaps there are
other parameters that should be set as well. Is it clear to the user how to
set these parameters?]
2. Select Run when you are ready to create the report.

I am writing the same things over and over again so have become
confused, what would be better to use?
To run the report, define a time period and location.
Or
Define a time period and location to run the report.
(I prefer the first)
