Custom alarm message help

Ignition
1

Hi I am running ignition 7.6.3 I would like to create a custom alarm message with multiple tag references IE…
(Subject)
Control station 5 high temperature alarm
(Body)
Unit Actual Setpoint
CS5 39 32

Cooler Temps
Raw Cooler
CS1 34 32
CS2 35 32
Shipping Cooler
CS3 38 32
CS4 39 32
CS5 39 32

I have worked with earlier versions of ignition where the custom message body editor functioned similar to a word processer where you could reference tag values in the text body without using an expression binding… Please help me find a way to work around this.

Thanks for the help :thumb_left:

:prayer: Thank you Tech support

Here is the solution tech support came up with, and for all you code gurus it’s probably an elementary task but for the point and click users like me that are learning the basics you can use “/n” within the double quote to start a new line.
Here is an example of an alarm email I made along with the expression I used.

The email formatting actually looks better than it dose in the post every thing lines up nicely in the email.

Unit CS_5 Is reading a high temperature of 30° With a setpoint of 30°

Raw Cooler Temps

Unit Temp Setpoint
CS_5 30° 30°
CS_6 30° 30°
CS_7 30° 30°
CS_8 30° 30°

Shipping Cooler Temps

Unit Temp Setpoint
CS_33 33° 33°
CS_34 33° 33°
CS_35 33° 33°
CS_36 33° 33°
CS_37 36° 36°
CS_38 36° 36°

Expression
“Unit CS_” + “5” + " Is reading a high temperature of " + {[~]Ref/Units/CS_5/Temp} + “°” +
" With a setpoint of " + {[~]Ref/Units/CS_5/Setpoint} + “°” +
