## Explanation

This flow works by first grabbing the Folder called "Data Structures" in order to have the Folder Id to save the Data Structure that is being created in. Once that is finished, a Form is presented to the User so they may fill out the Data Structure information such as: TypeName, Data Structure Name, and one Field for the structure. After that is submitted, the last step will create the new Data Structure in the Folder specified. Once the Flow is finished a User may navigate to the Data Structures Folder in order to see the new structure that was created.
