Hi @safah_siraj,

Could you please provide with more information on what you’d like to achieve with your voting app? Here is a Webinar sample app that provides users with the capability to vote on questions.

By selecting “Look under the hood”, you can access the app editor. The “Moderate” view will allow you to upvote questions asked.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi, it does not allow me to copy and customise the app and it does not allow me to look under the hood. Any ideas?

hi there
m glad sumonee replied to my question
I basicaly need a voting app for e-election for a school
where there is 1000+ students and each student has his own unique id (GR.NO)
i want each student to vote for their fav candidate and whoever as he clicks the voting button, it should be shown in the googlesheet as voted in a column named as VOTED…so in this way ill come to know who has voted n whos left…because who ever doesnt vote ,his voting mark would not be shown in the googlesheet so that we will come to know how many have voted and how many are left

i hope you understand

Hi @safah_siraj,

Seems like I might have missed your response. One way of implementing this is to use AppSheet’s form view (https://help.appsheet.com/articles/961510-view-types).

It will allow your students to select candidates display on the form, perhaps using the dropdown feature (https://help.appsheet.com/articles/961539-dropdown-from-simple-list-of-values). Upon the student’s submission, his/her response along with the unique ID would be logged in the associated table (let’s call this Table A).

In a separate table, Table B, the “VOTED” column can leverage the IN() formula (https://help.appsheet.com/articles/961337-yes-no-expressions) to check if the student’s ID exists in Table A’s Unique ID column. If the condition is true, then the student will be marked as voted.

The expression would look something like this for Table B’s VOTED column:

IF(IN([Unique ID], Table A[Unique ID]), “Yes”, “No”).

It is saying: If the student’s Unique ID is in Table A’s list of Unique IDs, then input “Yes” in the VOTED column. Otherwise, input “No”.

Hopefully this helps you start building the app. Let me know if you have any other questions along the way. Please feel free to @ me so I can give you a speedy response!

Hi @Phuong,

I have just created my appsheet account due to this thread where I saw that we can create a voting feature in our apps! That’s fantastic and am wondering if you know of any existing app examples that I can explore?

Me and my team plan on building an e-governance app (basically a project management app combined with participatory and voting features)

Can you can help me with visually understanding the voting capabilities Appsheet allows?

@Steve I’ve already checked some apps there. Any particular one that stands out to you?
