The left panel on the home page contains any bookmarks that you have set to access records quickly and easily. Bookmarks are similar to Favorites in Microsoft Internet Explorer—they are quick links to pages or, in the case of eCounsel, to records or external URLs (Uniform Resource Locators). 

Links to external URLs are subject to the restrictions of your company’s security policies. 

Bookmarks also can be accessed from most modules. To collapse the panel so it is not viewable, click the  icon. To restore it, click the  icon. When you collapse bookmarks, the menu of tabs on the left of some pages is not visible. You need this menu to perform many tasks within eCounsel.

1. Open the home page. 
2. Right-click in the Bookmarks panel, and select the Add folder menu command.
    
   
3. On the Add a new folder dialog box, type a name for a folder, then click Save.
