# Flow Run Part

WarningAs the **Flow Run Part** is intended for use with Flows containing Forms only, Flows without Forms should not be used.  
  
As the Flow runs on Page load and then reruns upon completion, Flows without Forms used on a Flow Run Part will run on a continuous loop.

## Overview

A **Flow Run Part** is a [**Page Component**](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/page-control-glossary#tiles)****that allows the user to run a Flow containing a Form within the allotted Page space. The following document demonstrates how to use a Flow Run Part to display a Form and record inputs on a Page, as well as how to use a Flow Run Part to affect **Refresh**behavior.

Example ProjectThe following project can be [imported](/v9/docs/importing-and-exporting-projects) into an environment and serve as a guide on using a **Flow Run Part**component.[FlowRunPart-20052022-022009.zip](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/FlowRunPart-20052022-022009.zip)
