Yojimbo’s Collections
Collections provide a rich and sophisticated method of organizing the information you store in Yojimbo. Whether you use the built-in Smart Collections or create your own, Yojimbo works with you.
Yojimbo's built-in Smart Collections dynamically gather items by type (bookmarks, for example), status (unsorted or flagged) and so on while Custom Collections are manually assigned.
An item can be in more than one Custom Collection for more sophisticated filing. Use as many, or as few, Collections as you like.

Custom Collections
If you’re the kind of person who likes to have a place for everything and everything in its place, go wild! As always, in Yojimbo it’s completely up to you and you don’t need to use any collections if you don’t care to. Custom Collections are easy to create, just like everything else in Yojimbo.
Here’s a few ideas for custom collections:

Customizing a Collection
Any custom Collection starts as a generic one. Using the Inspector, you can paste any picture to be the Collection’s icon to personalize it.
Items in Multiple Custom Collections
Custom Collections are simply a convenient way to create your own categories for filing things. You can put an item into as many collections as you like by dropping the item on a Collection or dropping a Collection into the Item’s Inspector (see below).
Item Inspector
Yojimbo also searches the Item’s Comments, so you can put even more information in that to help you find your items.
Smart Collections
Smart Collections dynamically gather items by type or status. Each of the following are automatically assigned but you don’t have to display them in the Collections List.
- Flagged Items
- Recent Items
- Unsorted Items—Unsorted means not assigned a Custom Collection
- Archives
- Bookmarks
- Notes
- Passwords
- Serial Numbers
