## Explanation

This project creates a report which takes user **account** data as the data source and **ID**, **Email**, and **Is Active** as data fields. The Flow uses the **Run Report step** to output this Report in the Flow as **f****ile data**. A Form then uses that file data as an input for the **File Download** Form component, in this example it is displayed as a button, but this can be formatted as a link. To test the Flow, simply run the Flow titled "Run and Download Report", click the download button when the Form is displayed and close the Form. This will download the necessary file and complete the Flow.
