Formatting Learning Profile forms?
I created a form for a Learning Profile and the test shows just columns of info - no spaces, no bold or divisions by categories, etc. Can anyone suggest how to format the final so it looks presentable and easy to read? I'm missing doing something for sure!

@Danielle Corriveau If you figure out a way, then you should sell your solution to the rest of us! ?
We actually became frustrated with the layout/design of the Learning profile forms, but we needed to use them in order to display the LP flag on student records. Our solution was to build the Learning Profiles using Google Docs so that they're designed using our preferred layout and include all relevant information. Then, we simply add the link to the Google Doc on the Learning Profile Form associated with the student's record. Now, when faculty open the LP, they see a list of the student's current enrollment, and there's a live link that takes them directly to their student's designed IEP (stored in Google Drive) that lists all accommodations and other detailed information about the student's profile. Updating the IEP is super easy for our Learning Strategists too! And access to the Google Doc is restricted, so only users who need to view the IEP are granted access to it.

@Danielle Corriveau, Here is a sample of our Learning Profiles if it helps. The formatting is rather limited as you have observed, but our current layout has been working well for us.

@Geoffrey Goodfellow Thank you for sharing. This is more toward what I was thinking our form should look like. Can you tell me how you got the centering, bold, and spacing put in place, or could you link me to a resource that shows me more about formatting? The training I took didn't cover that aspect of creating a form. Again, many thanks for your response.

@Danielle Corriveau, below is a print screen of the Learning Profile setup that goes along with the Learning Profile sample I uploaded previously. You'll see that we've added “Blank Row” field types to add the space and have added the “Section Header” field types to add the Bold sections.

I've added some lines under the headings to help make it easier to read. Just made a text box label with a bunch of underscores. And added blank rows as well to help with spacing. The centered bold part where ours says learning profile I believe is coming from the name of the form.
