# Repeater Component

The Repeater component renders a set of child components repeatedly for each item in a bound data array. Use it to display dynamic lists of records without a grid interaction pattern.

> **How to read settings tables**
> 
> The tables below describe each configurable option as it displays in the UnqorkAI platform. Values are formatted as follows: `inline code` — a value to type exactly as shown | **Bold** — a value selected from a drop-down, radio button, tab, or choice chip | **ON**/**OFF** — toggle state | ✓ — checkbox checked | ☐ — checkbox unchecked

> Fields with **Store Data in Database** set to **OFF** are excluded from Plug-In component's API responses and Unqork's built-in tracker.
