A section head breaks your form into core areas of enquiry. It also acts as the subtotal when you apply benchmark scoring. So you will have a aggregate score for a section which will be the sum total of all the questions in that section.

 

See Working with form Fonts for how to set the font for this text

 

 

Adding a Section Header

 

To add a Section Header to your form, select Section Header Text from the drop down list of form elements.  You  will then see the following window.

 

 

 

 

To control the separation of a Section header from the rest of the form, use the extra space check boxes to optionally keep the standard spacing or else increase it.  This can be done for the spacing above and below the section header.

 

Type in the text you want to show up as the Section head your form.  Once you have completed this, click on the Add to form button. This will then add the text to your form. You will then see it shown on the layout panel.

 

By default, the Section Header Text will be appended to the bottom of the form. However you can control where your Section header is placed by using relative positioning.  See Working with Relative Positioning for more information.
