# About the Merge by Type Function

Through the Merge by Type dialog box a Function may be created that takes data from two or more different source nodes in the Data Input Panel and merges them into a single destination node in the Tool Input Panel, assigning a data type to an element in the destination node based on the source node.

So, if there are two source nodes the first with two records and the second with three, then the destination node will contain five records.

The dialog box is displayed by either double-clicking on the icon in the Functions Pane or dragging and dropping the icon from the Functions Pane onto the Mapping and Functions Panel and then double-clicking on the icon. It contains the four tabbed panes listed below through which a function may be configured:

|  | Function Name — A name for the function may be manually entered.
