My EFIS (Dynon D-100) includes the ability to insert five menus, each menu can have five lists - for a total of 25 pages of information. Dynon suggests that these can be used for storing checklists, emergency procedures, radio frequencies, etc. With 200+ hours on my plane, I haven't put any information in these pages yet.
What do you keep in your EFIS?
ON my AFS - use it all the time, each section on seperate page(POH Backup on board):
