* Map function to get all the results from the database | |
* this is specially useful if you're trying to access to | |
* the questions and options as you may want to generate | |
* a report in your system...(not only the answers) | |
* | |
* I mainly did this because of the lack of good examples | |
* on the documentation, only through other github projects | |
* and try and failure. | |
* | |
* I encourage you to use the official docs, but this may | |
* helps. https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/forms | |
