A system comprising: a teleoperational assembly including an operator control system and a plurality of manipulators configured for teleoperation by the operator control system, wherein a first manipulator of the plurality of manipulators is configured to control movement of a first medical instrument, and wherein a second manipulator of the plurality of manipulators is configured to control movement of a second medical instrument; and a processing unit including one or more processors, wherein the processing unit is configured to: display an image of a field of view of a surgical environment; display a first badge at a default location, wherein the default location is proximate to an image of the first medical instrument in the image of the field of view, the first badge including first association information for the first medical instrument; display a second badge proximate to an image of the second medical instrument in the image of the field of view, the second badge including second association information for the second medical instrument; determine a display factor associated with the first badge, characterized in that determining the display factor includes: determining a distance between the first badge and the second badge; and recognizing that the determined distance is less than a predetermined interference distance, wherein the determined distance is less than the predetermined interference distance at least before the first badge and the second badge overlap; when the determined distance is less than the predetermined interference distance, determine a shift distance between the default location and a shifted location or determine a revised size for the first badge; and display the first badge at the revised size or at the shifted location which is along a longitudinal axis of the first medical instrument. a teleoperational assembly including an operator control system and a plurality of manipulators configured for teleoperation by the operator control system, wherein a first manipulator of the plurality of manipulators is configured to control movement of a first medical instrument, and wherein a second manipulator of the plurality of manipulators is configured to control movement of a second medical instrument;
