A bookmark stores references for printer addresses or files like a database. cab Network Manager uses them for files and configuration synchronisation. Bookmarks for printer addresses can be used for both cases of synchronisation.
The basic idea behind a bookmark is to group printers or files to use them as one. E.g., some printer needs to receive the same files like fonts or labels from time to time ...
There are two different kinds of bookmarks available. One bookmark type handles files, and the second one printers. They both will be used in the same way: Create a bookmark and add one or more items. An item is for e.g. a printer bookmark registered printer in the cab Network Manager. For a file bookmark it could be folders or files.
Information: In case of a folder, the content of the folder will be transferred to the defined printers
The nesting of bookmarks is not supported.
The dialogue can be called by the according menus of the different modules.

The file bookmark editor is divided into two parts. On the left hand side all available bookmarks will be found. The right hand side shows the files referenced in a bookmark. A bookmark can be selected by clicking its name. After a bookmark has been selected it can be changed or removed. To add a new bookmark, the desired bookmark must be selected before.
Picture 2: Bookmark Editor - Printers
The editor for printer bookmarks is divided in three parts. On the left side of the editor you can find all available printer bookmarks. The other two lists in the centre and the right side of the dialogue deals with the printer itself.
The list in the centre shows all available and registered printers in the cab Network Manager account (Printer Pool). The shown printers on the right hand side (Selected printers) are out off this Printer Pool and referenced in the bookmark.
Only printers in the Printer Pool can be used and handled. By pressing the buttons, according the direction on its symbol, a selected printer can be moved back and forth.
Information: Save the changes to disk before you close a bookmark editor,
otherwise the changes will be discarded. A dialogue may prompt you.
Bookmarks will be stored and listed as they are created. The first bookmark is intended as default bookmark and will be automatically selected by cab Network Manager modules. The dialogue can be opened by calling "Change order" in the "Bookmark" menu of a bookmark editor.
Tip: The first bookmark in the list is treated as a default bookmark and will be selected automatically.

The properties of a bookmark are editable and contain two informations: Name and description. Therefore, a bookmark can be renamed and diversified. Calling "Edit" in the "Bookmark" menu of the bookmark editor can do this. By selecting that menu item, a dialogue, picture 4, appears.

The description will not directly be displayed. It should help to diversify and to memorise information e.g. concerning the bookmark.
