What does it do?

You can use this base to supplement a live Q & A session and display the results in realtime on a basic chart. Some applications could include:

  • Interactive lectures
  • Voting

The concepts involved will also allow you to create dynamic dashboards using our blocks panel. In other words, using the Global record concept, you can create a reporting dashboard that reflects any adjustments made to the global record.

​

Quick Start

  1. Add/update questions using the _Add Questions _view
  2. Add as many as you'd like, but make sure that the number of questions are accounted for in the single select _Question # _field in the **Global Answer **table (single select so that Matrix block is available)
  3. Each question MUST be linked to the record in the **Global Answer **table
  4. For ease, use the 'Add Questions' view where the records have been grouped under the record in the Global Answer table to add new questions.
  5. As you're adding questions, add the answer options. This base assumes that all questions are multiple choice.
  6. If you add people, each person MUST be linked to the record in the **Global Answer **table
  7. For ease, use the 'Add People' view where the records have been grouped under the record in the Global Answer table to add new people.
  8. Navigate to the ++Gametime++ dashboard
  9. Choose the question and whether to show the answer with the Matrix block (the page designer will display the corresponding question by using the _Question on Display _view in the **Questions **table)
  10. Use the Twilio block to send the active question to the team
  11. Responses will display in realtime
  12. Use the matrix block to move on to the next question or hide/show the answer

Understanding the Base

The base is set up so that the visuals shown on the** Presenter **dashboard are driven based the contents of the record(s) in the *Global Answer* table.

​

The **Global Answer **table contains the following:

  • The base link to the response form is contained in the Dynamic Form Base Link field
  • The Question selection and Show Answer triggers are also contained in this record and displayed/editable via the _Question Control _matrix block
  • These fields are used by the Matrix block to drive the Q&A flow

​

Since the record in the Global Answer table is linked to every person and every question, the field listed above are available to the linked Question and People records. Specifically:

  • The Dynamic Form Base Link _and _Question to Prefill is looked up into each record in the **People **table and used to create a dynamic prefill form link that can then be sent to individuals via text using the Twilio block.

​

Since the Dynamic Form is driven by the selected question in the **Global Answer **table, an individual with the base link can just refresh the initial form link to respond to the newly selected question.

  • Note that you may need to update the response form link in the Dynamic Form Base Link field in the **Global Answer **table to reflect your duplicated base. The new form link should come from the form view of the Responses table.
