## Explanation

The following Example Lab demonstrates how to utilize a **Form** that contains a single "Select Account" **Button**, and a Finish Button to route the desired User **Account** through a **Flow**. Selecting the **Select** **Account** Button redirects the user to the Lookup Function on Form step. The resulting Form contains a single **Text Box** and a **Data** **Grid** component that is set to pull up the **EmailAddress** column of all present Account **DataTypes** within the Decisions environment. Upon selecting the Done Button, the Flow redirects to the original Form, populating the previously empty Text Box with the selected Account's Email Address. This then concludes the Flow.
