The first selected matching state for the item, from top going downward, will be shown within the overview and you can modify the order of the list by dragging and dropping the entries into the preferred order. Within the 'Appearance' tab, the background color as well as the color of the item tag can be configured. The 'States' sub tab allows a fine grained control over which states of an item in space close to you have it always show on the overview as well as what states may cause an item to be filtered out if there are no other states to have it show. Once the correct selections have been made, it can be saved by clicking the 'Save' button, allowing the selection to be used within overview tabs as well as adding it to the overview window menu for easy selection. The filter box as well as the item type groups assist in finding specific item types to show within the overview. Within the 'Types' sub tab, the types of items in space that the overview shall show can be selected. Simply clicking on such a link allows a player to apply the overview settings to his own overview. The 'Share' button in the upper left can be dragged into a chat channel, EVE Mail or Note and can be used to share the current overview settings with other players. Selecting a saved Tab Preset within the 'Bracket Preset' determines what symbols are being shown within the main view of the game when the respective overview tab is active. Up to 8 Tabs can be configured to be shown within the overview for quick switching between different overview settings showing different kinds of items that have been configured in a saved Tab Preset (shown below).

All Overview settings are saved account wide and a change will affect all characters on the same account. Within the game settings, it is also possible to set a shortcut to open the Overview Settings, but none is set by default. The overview settings can be opened through the menu of the overview window.

The entries displayed in the overview while in space can be extensively customized in order to have the overview show the information about your surroundings that is of interest.
