Here at EVE University, we have a quick-start Overview guide to help you get started easily. Follow the steps below to setup the EVE Uni Overview and read on to learn more about the Overview itself.
Using the default overview is generally not recommended. Instead, players should either set and manage their own overview or use a well-maintained overview pack.

A faster method to tag targets is to use the "tag item as" shortcut key. Note that all "tag item as" actions do not have a key bound to them by default. These shortcuts are in the "combat" section of shortcut settings.

The default overview leaves much room for improvement. Main issues with the default overview:
* Poor selection of overview presets.
* Not taking full advantage of colortags and background colors.
* Poorly ordered colortags and background colors.
* Badly visible columns.
* Poorly ordered columns.
Using the default overview is generally not recommended. Instead, players should either set and manage their own overview or use a well-maintained overview pack.
Setting your own overview can be time-consuming and the overview has a large number of settings with which many players are not familiar. Details on the overview settings are found on [[Overview settings]] page.
If you are a member of EVE University, you should start with [[EVE University Overview]].
Even if you use a pre-made overview pack, you will still need to set the overview presets for your overview tabs. You may have up to 8 active tabs of Overview presets. The presets you have active will depend on personal preference and the gameplay activities in which you participate.
