This section describes creating and managing the templates for adding a second line to [grid view search results](https://soutron.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HG/pages/3278105).

The second line can contain any number of fields, and spans the entire width of the table.

To insert the data:

2. select the relevant field from the drop-down list
3. click **Insert Macro**

The macros are inserted in square brackets. For example:

```

### Adding text

```
Summary: [Abstract]
```

Text can be added and formatted just as with standard word processing.

# Completing the process
