As time goes by you will create a lot of bookmarks and if you don’t organize and manage them, you will mess them up. This section presents some basic techniques ~~you~~ can ~~use~~ to avoid that. The following are not strict rules. They are, however, built upon solid experience. In time, ~~you should~~ feel free to develop your own style and system.

=== Label ===

The most important part of organizing bookmarks is labeling. In stressful situations, you have to be able to recognize the right bookmark and use it in an instant. Therefore, bookmark labels need to have a standard, easily recognizable format. It is important to create - and use - an efficient way to label ~~your~~ bookmarks from the beginning. You will thank yourself in the future.

Before labeling ~~your~~ bookmarks, you should familiarize yourself with the information automatically stored with ~~your~~ bookmarks in the Locations window.

Before labeling bookmarks, you should familiarize yourself with the information automatically stored with the bookmarks in the Locations window.

; Label : Name assigned to the bookmark.

; Type : Type of bookmark. Either "Coordinate" for coordinate bookmarks or the type of the bookmarked object like "Station", "Citadel", "Refinery" etc for object bookmarks.

Line 185:

This information is visible in (sort-able) columns on the Locations window and apart from Label and Expiry (limited) can not be edited.

Try not to use information already available in the Locations window for bookmark labels, and keep it as simple as possible because you may need to find ~~your~~ bookmark in an instant in case of an emergency or a strict situation.

The Locations window is the central repository of ~~your~~ bookmarks. It has a three level structure of root-folders, folders and sub-folders.

The Locations window is the central repository of bookmarks. It has a three level structure of root-folders, folders and sub-folders.

Folders and sub-folders can be used to organize ~~your~~ bookmarks. ~~You can use~~ (sub-)folders to arrange ~~your~~ bookmarks according to their uses. Folders are also used to control the availability and the visibility in space (see {{Section link| |Folder status}}).

Folders and sub-folders can be used to organize bookmarks. (sub-)folders can be used to arrange bookmarks according to their uses. Folders are also used to control the availability and the visibility in space (see {{Section link| |Folder status}}).

A folder, of any level, can be opened in its own window by using the right-click menu option "Open Group Window" or double-clicking the folder. Opening a folder in its own window automatically collapses the folder in the Locations window. Expanding that folder in the Locations window will close the stand-alone folder.

Line 207:

Bookmark data is divided over 9 columns: Label, Type, Jumps, SOL, CON, REG, Date, Expiry and Creator (See {{Section link| |Label}}) for a description).

Bookmarks that are in the current system are high-lighted, with the color depending on the Color Theme ~~used~~.

The root-folders Personal- and Shared Locations are divided into player controlled folders and sub-folders. There must be at least one folder to be able to store bookmarks.

Line 230:

These folders are controlled by the game.

; Offline Folders : When one or more folders have the offline status this folder is created and the offline folders are placed in it. When there are no more folders with offline status this folder is automatically removed. This folder can exist in both Personal- and Shared Folders

; Shared folders With Admin Access : This folder contains all the shared folders ~~for which you have~~ Admin access regardless of their statuses (connected/disconnected - online/offline). The statuses are visible behind the folders.

; Shared folders With Admin Access : This folder contains all the shared folders with "Admin access" permission regardless of their statuses (connected/disconnected - online/offline). The statuses are visible behind the folders.

==== Folder status ====

Line 241:

| visible / invisible || (Shared) Folders Sub-folders || Controls the visibility of bookmarks in space. The visibility status is indicated and managed by the eye symbol behind the folder name. Green means visible, grey means hidden. Clicking the eye symbol swaps the status.

|-

| connected / disconnected || Shared folders || Controls whether a shared folder is available to you. Disconnected folders ~~for witch you have~~ "Admin access" can be reconnected through the "Shared folders With Admin Access" folder. Reconnecting to shared folders without "Admin access" requires the connection link. (see also {{Section link| |Share}})
