# Run Report

| ## Step Details |
| --- |
| **Introduced in Version** | 4.0.0 |
| **Last Modified in Version** | 7.12.0 |
| **Location** | Favorites OR Designer Entities > Reporting |

Report data is commonly used in a [Flow](https://documentation.decisions.com/v8/docs/flows) via the **Run** **Report** step; this step references a user-designated [Report](https://documentation.decisions.com/v8/docs/reports). Additionally, to aid in use in a Flow, the **Generate Step To Run Report** property in the Report Designer creates a unique **Data Type** specific to the configuration of the associated Report, as well as a Run Report step that is pre-configured to that Report.

When a Report is used within a Flow, the step outputs the data as the default **Data Type**, **FileData**. FileData can be referenced in various ways, from [**Form controls**](https://documentation.decisions.com/v8/docs/form-control-glossary) to other Flow steps, giving Report data the flexibility to move throughout a Project.
