[PROJECT_DATA GRID-16052023-115106.zip](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/PROJECT_DATA%20GRID-16052023-115106.zip) 1. In a Designer Project, [create a new Flow](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/create-flows). 2. In the **Toolbox** panel, add the **GetAll** step under **INTEGRATION > INTERNAL SERVICES > ACCOUNTSERVICE** to the **Start** step. 3. After the GetAll step, add the **Show Form** step. On the **Properties** panel, click PICK OR CREATE FORM and [create a new Form](/v9/docs/create-forms). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-16_15h12_00.png) 4. Click and drag the **Data Grid** control to the Form and add a **Button** control (Done).Need help editing the Grid layout?Select the Form Grid and view its Properties > Grid Setup to edit its number of column and rows. This example replaces the center Grid with a single large cell via 1* to house the Grid for easier viewing.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2024-08-07_15h37_21.png) 5. On the Properties panel, under INPUT DATA, enter "Accounts" in the **Data Name** field. Then, in the **Type** textbox search for and select **Account [Decision.Framework...]**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2024-08-07_15h38_10.png) 6. After setting the Input Data, **Column Information**appears in the Properties panel. Users can remove, add, and sort the different fields in this section. Select the pencil icon to edit a column or click the arrows to reorder the column. | Setting Name | Default | Function | | --- | --- | --- | | Field Name | [chosen data type variable] | Allows selection of which data type variable's data will populate this column | | Title | [name of chosen data type variable] | Prompts for the name of the column | | Is Visible | True | Toggles visibility of this column by end-user | | Can Group | True | Toggles ability to group this column with others | | Can Sort | False | Toggles ability to sort content within this column | | Is Read Only | False | Toggles end-user editability at runtime | | Width | 100 | Prompts for the width of the column | | Allow Unsafe JavaScript | False | Toggles allowing Javascript code to populate this column supporting, for example, HTML | | Allow Text Alignment | False | Toggles allowing text alignment options to the column | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2024-08-07_15h38_55.png) 7. Save and close the Form Designer to return to the Flow Designer. 8. Select the Form to open its Properties. Under the INPUTS category, change the **Accounts** input mapping type to **Select From Flow** then select the output for the Get All step (Get All 1_ Output) and click DONE. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-16_15h14_59.png) 9. Connect the Done path from the Form to the **End** step. ### Passing outputs from the Data Grid Users can pass the output from the Data Grid to the subsequent steps in a Flow. This output may include data that users have interacted with. **Grid Mode** setting under the properties tab of the [Data Grid and Advanced Data Grid](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/advanced-data-grids) gives designers the ability to pass the user-interacted data as output. For more information, refer to [Using Grid Mode in Data Grid/Advanced Data Grid](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/using-grid-mode). --- ## Debug 1. On the top action panel, click **Debug.** 2. Click START DEBUGGING.After the debugger runs, the Form will display a data grid of accounts. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2024-08-21_09h19_00.png) --- For further information on Forms, visit the [Decisions Forum](https://community.decisions.com/categories/Forms).
