Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed the Instant Polls template and learned about its data model and how the app is built. We learned about a new function (THISROW) and more complex use of the previously known FILTER function. We learned how we can build support for multiple polls in a single app and how to support a dynamic number of options. We also discovered how extensively visibility conditions can be used in an app to build multiple functions and features within a single screen.

Recall that in the previous chapter, we saw a static survey with fixed questions and response types. With the concepts learned in this chapter, you can now improve the Survey app from a simple to a professional version that, among other features, allows for the creation of new surveys on the fly with a varying number of questions and other response types.

In the next chapter, we will continue our template deep-dives and review the Event Management template.
