{{NoteLine|Memento's tools for data analysis -- and so the ones we talk about in data analysis -- almost exclusively lie in the entries list. If data is '''linked in a top-down fashion''' with many-to-many links from parent libraries to child libraries (Customers->Orders), the linked entries will be listed within an '''entry view card'''; they are not readily seen in an '''entries list screen''' and so are not available for data analysis. For databases of linked libraries, one of the best things you can do to maximize your ability to analyze your data is to '''link your libraries from the bottom up''' (Customers<-Orders), often with one-to-many links, though it works also with many-to-many links, so long as they are linked in bottom-up fashion, from child library to parent library. This enables all your data to spring to life and gives you the ability to use Memento's great tools for data analysis -- the ones discussed in these days analysis pages.}} | |||
