In this video, we will learn the different Context() options available, and how to use them to control how columns or fields are shown in your app based on the given context. With this knowledge,
we can master field visibility in our AppSheet apps.

As a bonus, we will also show a "Power Tip" that allows you to have different columns shown on your Inline Table views, even if they are based on the same data table source.
