    You need to put your a!gridRowLayout() in a sub-rule and then use a!applyComponents() to generate a row for each item in your data array. By passing in the index position to the sub-rule you can then display the relative value and saveInto attributes. Check out the SAIL Recipes on the help pages for examples of this.
