# Using Feeds Inside Layouts

To use feeds inside the **Studio** you'll need to create them first in the feed section.

Add any component or screen that supports data input e.g. grid, list, hero etc. 

Go to the **Data** section on the right panel and choose your desired feed from the dropdown.

## Setting up dynamic feed params

If the feed that you are adding has dynamic params e.g. `https://example.com/show/{{showId}}/episodes`,
Zapp studio will prompt you to set the value of the dynamic params (`showId` in the example above).

You can populate the value of the param from any of the referring entry fields;
For example, let's say that on the home screen of the app there is a component that
presents the teasers of all available shows. Tapping on a show will open the show screen.

In the show screen you'll have a component with the feed `https://example.com/show/{{showId}}/episodes`.
You can refer to the `showId` with any of the fields in the show entry feed e.g. you can use the `entry.id` to
populate the `showId` in of the feed.
