## Explanation

For this example a **Data Repeater User Control** Form was created that uses the **Accounts Data Type** as the input. The **Data Repeater** has the **Entity Name** from the Accounts data and the **Sub-Dialog Image Button**. The **Sub-Dialog** Flow takes in the Entity Name. The **Fetch Entities** step fetches all the Account information for the Account Entity. The Form maps in the Account information from the **Fetch Entities** step output. In the Data Repeater Form, the Sub-Dialog Input is configured to "current Item". This will pull the **Entity Name** for the selected row. The **Main** Form has the completed **Data Repeater User Control** on it. The **Main** Form is added to the **Run Form** Flow.

To test, run the **Run Form** Flow. The Form will display all the Accounts. When you click on the magnify glass icon a Form will appear with additional information for the selected Account.
