== Organizing and managing ==

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.

The most important part of organizing ~~your~~ bookmarks is labeling. In stressful situations, you have to be able to recognize the right bookmark and use it in an instant. 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 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.

~~You may also use folders~~ to ~~organize~~ your ~~bookmarks~~.

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

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

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

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.

~~[[File:Labels~~.~~jpg]]~~

=== Locations window ===

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

~~As you~~ can ~~see in~~ the ~~above illustration, each bookmark automatically contains~~ the ~~following information:~~

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}}).

{| ~~style~~="~~text~~-~~align~~: ~~left;"~~

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.

|-

~~! Label~~:

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

~~| The label~~ is the name you ~~assign~~ to ~~your bookmark~~

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

==== Root-folders ====

The Locations window has four build in "root"-folders:

[[File:Locations window collapsed.png]]

* Locations in <''System''>: This folder is managed by the game and will contain al personal and shared bookmarks that are in online folders in the system that you are currently residing in. It has a second single window form that differs from the standard one as it has less(3) and different columns (Labels, Folder and Expiry). This folder is opened by clicking on the icon on the far right of the folder name.

* Personal Locations: This folder contains folders with your personal bookmarks that only you can see.

* Shared Locations: This folder contains folders that either you have shared with others or others have shared with you.

* Agent missions: This folder is managed by the game and will contain al bookmarks to locations that are related to missions that you have accepted.

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.

==== Folders ====

Folders can contain a mixture of sub folders and bookmarks. Folder are used to control the usability of the bookmarks within (online/offline), the visibility of bookmarks in space and in the case of shared folders: access control.

==== Sub-folders ====

Sub-folders can be created inside folders and can only contain bookmarks. Sub-folders can be used to control visibility in space.

==== Administrative folders ====

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.

==== Folder status ====

{| class=wikitable

! ~~Type~~:

! style="width: 12em;" | Status !! style="width: 8em;" | Applicable to !! Description

| ~~Type of the bookmark (for example~~ "~~Station~~" ~~or "Coordinate")~~

|-

~~! Jump:~~

| online / offline || (Shared) Folders || Controls whether the bookmarks are available for use and the availability of the folder when [[#Creating|creating]] new bookmarks. Offline/online status is managed through the right-click menu. When a folder is offline it is moved to the "Offline Folders" folder and appears grayed-out.

| ~~Indicates current number~~ of ~~jumps away from~~ the ~~solar system~~ the ~~bookmark~~ is ~~placed in~~

|-

~~! Sol:~~

| 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.

| ~~Solar System~~ the ~~bookmark~~ is ~~placed in~~

|-

~~! Con:~~

| 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| |Sharing}})

| ~~Constellation the bookmark is placed in~~

|-

~~! Reg:~~

| ~~Region the bookmark is placed in~~

|-

~~! Date:~~

| ~~Indicates~~ the ~~date of creation of~~ the ~~bookmark~~

|-

~~! Expiry:~~

| ~~Date at which the bookmark auto deletes~~

|}

~~Avoid using these details in your bookmarks to simplify their labels. Also, you can arrange the location of the columns according to your choice.~~

~~'''Tips:'''~~

* 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 can sort your bookmarks according to their jump distance. This way they will be available on top of the list. The bookmarks in the current system are always highlighted with green to help you separate them from the others.

* You may reach your bookmarks through the right-click menu while in space. Only the bookmarks in the current system will show up in this menu.

Using folders and sub folders is a simple way to organize your bookmarks. You can use folders to arrange your bookmarks according to their uses. You also use the folders to choose whether to display a folder's bookmarks in space or not. Clicking the eye icon sets visibility. Green means visible, grey means hidden.

~~'''Tips:'''~~

* When you use the right-click menu to reach your bookmarks in space, you will also see your folders there (only those containing bookmarks in the current system though.)

* Bookmarks in the root folder (not in a sub folder) are extremely easy to access in space - use this to your advantage.

* If you would like to keep just one bookmark folder open from your Locations just double click on the folder you want and a copy will be created on your screen and you will be able to close the Locations window and the folder you choose will remain.
