Intermediate functions

Introduction 

Every app-like experience built with pages eventually depends on one crucial layer: data shaping.

Pages can present inputs and outputs beautifully, but what you display, the text, tables, lists, filters, and summaries, depends entirely on how well you manipulate the data behind the scenes.

In this module, you’ll learn a focused set of intermediate functions used constantly in page-driven workflows. These functions help you turn raw data into a clear, guided user experience; the hallmark of professional-level Tines building.

This module is intentionally practical, narrative, and example-driven. You’ll learn not just how these functions work, but why they matter, when to use them, and how to design data transformations that make pages feel polished and reliable.

Learning objectives 

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

• Filter and organize array data using WHERE, SORT, and UNIQ functions.

• Transform data structures using MAP to format information for page displays.

• Compose readable, complex formulas using the pipeline operator to chain functions together.
