Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed the Simple Survey template and learned its data model and how the app is built. We learned some new functions (IFERROR, FindRow, and FindLastRow) and terms (rowlink and dereferencing), and we also learned how visibility conditions can be used in an app as a means of input validation.

While there were some new concepts learned, the app and the template were very basic and lacked many features we typically see in a survey-creating or administering service. In this app, there is no means to create a new survey without updating the data model and the corresponding update to the survey screen. The template, therefore, has limited extensibility.

However, this is not to say we cannot have a more powerful survey app in Honeycode. In the next chapter, we will continue our template deep-dives and review the Instant Polls template, which will give you some ideas on how to improve this Survey app.
