# How To: Add Custom Headers and Footers to Tables

Use manual table markup around line item output when you need extra structure above or below the data.

### Problem

You want to add total rows, summaries, or custom headers to your related list tables.

### Solution 1: Custom Column Headers

**Instead of field API names:**

```
<!--{{!
<lineitems>
<listname>opportunitylineitems</listname>
<column header="Product Name">PricebookEntry.Product2.name</column>
<column header="Qty">quantity</column>
<column header="Price Each" prefix="$" format-number="#,###.##">unitprice</column>
<column header="Line Total" prefix="$" format-number="#,###.##">totalprice</column>
</lineitems>
}}-->
```

### Solution 2: Summary Rows

**Add a total after the line items:**

```
<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Product</th>
      <th>Quantity</th>
      <th>Price</th>
      <th>Total</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
<!--{{!
<lineitems>
<listname>opportunitylineitems</listname>
<column>PricebookEntry.Product2.name</column>
<column>quantity</column>
<column prefix="$" format-number="#,###.##">unitprice</column>
<column prefix="$" format-number="#,###.##">totalprice</column>
</lineitems>
}}-->
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3" style="text-align: right;"><strong>TOTAL:</strong></td>
      <td><strong>${{!Opportunity.Amount format-number="#,###.##"}}</strong></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
```

### Solution 3: Section Headers

**Group products by category:**

```
<h3>Hardware Products</h3>
<!--{{!
<lineitemsSOQL>
<soql>SELECT Name, UnitPrice FROM OpportunityLineItem WHERE OpportunityId = '{{!Opportunity.Id}}' AND Product_Category__c = 'Hardware'</soql>
<column>Name</column>
<column prefix="$" format-number="#,###.##">UnitPrice</column>
</lineitemsSOQL>
}}-->

<h3>Software Products</h3>
<!--{{!
<lineitemsSOQL>
<soql>SELECT Name, UnitPrice FROM OpportunityLineItem WHERE OpportunityId = '{{!Opportunity.Id}}' AND Product_Category__c = 'Software'</soql>
<column>Name</column>
<column prefix="$" format-number="#,###.##">UnitPrice</column>
</lineitemsSOQL>
}}-->
```

### Tips

* Use `header="Text"` for simple column renaming.
* Add summary rows manually after the line item block.
* Use `colspan` to span summary cells across columns.
* Use separate line item blocks to segment data.
