Add or Edit a Bookmark

The Add or Edit Bookmark window is reached from the Bookmarks menu.

Bookmarks consist of DNs identified by a descriptive Bookmark Name and provide a convenient shortcut to quickly navigate to a particular entry. Bookmarks are shared between all LDAPViewer windows.

When the window is initially displayed it is populated with the currently selected DN in the active DIT and with a Bookmark Name derived from the selected DN as a convenience. These may be left "as is" or edited as required.
