Grouping and iterating through data in a Test Script

I am currently using the Trial version of RQM and have some questions. I am using Quality Center 10.0 to create Test Cases currently and are exploring the use if RQM going forward. In QC10, there is a concept referred to a 'grouping' a number of Components together so that a series of steps can be iterated through a number of times using different data variables. I understand, at a very basic level right now, the use of Keywords and Test Data in RQM but what I would like to know is if there is way to loop through a number of steps in a test or a number of different keywords and have different data variables be used in each of the steps. An example would be as such:
I created a login keyword with 4 steps, a search keyword with 3 steps and a logoff keyword with 2 steps. I want to be able to create a test that uses the login keyword once, iterates or loops through the Search account keyword a number of times using different search criteria and then when done, go to the logoff keyword. Hopefully this makes sense. Please let me know if there is anything I can clarify. Thanks!!

There's no way to loop over a specific set of steps in the script. But you can still use Test Data to vary the search steps of your script. However, when RQM loops through the test data all steps of the script would be executed. Even your login/logout steps.
