# Generating a Data Structure Form

## Overview

A Form can be auto-generated to include fields from a Data Structure. This quickens build time while ensuring no missing data fields during data submission.

## Example

1. In the Designer Project, click CREATE DATATYPES/INTEGRATION and select **Flow Structure.**

2. In the **Flow Structure** window, enter a name in the **Structure Type Name** field and create two **String [Text]** data fields (FirstName, LastName) and one **Int32 (Number)** data field (Age). Click SAVE.

3. Right-click on the Flow Structure and click **Generate Form**.

5. In the Designer Project, click CREATE FLOW to [create a new Flow](/v9/docs/create-flows).
6. Attach a **Show Form** step to the **Start** step. On the Properties panel, click PICK OR CREATE FORM and pick the existing Form that was created "PersonStructureForForm Form". With the step selected, click **Unknown** next to the **input** field and select **Build Data**.

7. Connect the **Ok** path and **Cancel** path to the **End** step. Click **Save** to save changes to the Flow.

### Debug

1. On the top action bar, click **Debug**.
