Title: External Text Sources: Insert multiple text sources into a single line
Post by: Jan on November 12, 2026, 05:37:04 pm

What is the simplest way to combine multiple text sources into a single line?

Yes, sometimes it is better to present information on a single line (or within a single Radiotext message) rather than displaying it sequentially. This is particularly relevant for very short messages or data values, ensuring that the final text does not exceed any applicable length limits.

Follow these steps:

• Note the ID of all text sources you want to merge into one line.
• Add a new source, source type Internal channel
• Locate the N/A text field and write a template for the final text.
  To insert a text source, use the tag %SOURCExTEXT% where x is the source ID
• Finally, put the new source into the output sequence.

See the pictures for example.
