In time, you should feel free to develop your own style and system. | 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.

Therefore, your 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. | The most important part of organizing your bookmarks is labeling.

Before labeling your bookmarks, you should familiarize yourself with the information automatically stored with your bookmarks in the Locations window. | |||
; Label : Name assigned to the bookmark. | |||
; Type : Type of bookmark. Either "Coordinate" or the name of the bookmarked object like "Station" or "" etc. | |||
; Jumps : Number of jumps from your current location. | |||
; SOL : Solar system the bookmark is located in. | |||
; CON : Constellation the bookmark is located in. | |||
; REG : Region the bookmark is located in. | |||
; Date : Date and time of creation. | |||
; Expiry : Date and time of auto deletion. | |||
; Creator : Name of the capasuleer that created the bookmark | |||
Apart from Label and Expiry (limited) these can <em>not</em> 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. | |||
You may also use folders to organize your bookmarks. | You may also use folders to organize your bookmarks. | ||
