Text Input on dashboard parameter

We have the need to enter text in a dashboard that will appear in a lower third on air. Is there a way to basically “word wrap” the text that is being input so that the operator can double check content? Thanks in advance.

If you already have the parameter defined, just change the widget hint to “multiline-text” in the parameter editor dialog. The only other thing you might want to do is turn scroll=“vertical” on in the display tag if you have a LOT of text.

Excellent James. I will check it out and then forward the info to the client.

James,
Thank you very much. That is exactly what they wanted to do.
