The Memento Library Edit screen

The Library Edit screen allows a user to define or edit the structure of a library, its fields, pages, aggregations, and autofill rules.

The screen has a checkmark in the upper-left corner and a 3-dot Action menu icon in the upper-right corner. Press the checkmark to conclude a successful edit session and save the result. The Action Menu has the following options:

Cancel
Abandon any edits since the session began and exit the Library Edit screen.
Share
Share the library as a template in the Memento Online Template Catalog. The user is prompted for the template name (default is the Library name), the template category, the language, and a description for the template.
Export
Export the library as a template to the local Memento directory. By default, it is stored as a file with the library name as the name with a .template extension. The user may change the file name before export.

The screen content comprises four tabs: MAIN, FIELDS, AGGREGATION, and AUTOFILL.

MAIN tab

The MAIN tab allows the user to set the following settings.

Color of library
One of 20 colors may be chosen from a palette to be used as the color of the library's tile on the Library List screen.
Put on the tile
Any or all of 4 pieces of information may be selected to be placed on the library's tile on the Library List screen: library icon, number of entries, editing time, and Add Entry button.
Entry Name
Names of fields defined with role Entry Name, if any, are displayed. When displayed in an entries list, their values well be concatenated using a space separator. A different separator may be entered or changed to one of six presets.
Entry Name is unique
Set to Off by default, this may be set to On to specify that the Entry Name is to be unique.
Entry Description
Names of fields defined with role Entry Description, if any, are displayed, When displayed in an entries list, their values well be concatenated using a space separator. A different separator may be entered or changed to one of six presets.
Entry thumbnail
Names of defined Image fields, if any, are displayed, and any one (or none) of them may be selected to function as the entry's thumbnail image on the Entry List screen.
Entry color
Names of defined single-value selection (Single-choice List or Radio Button) fields, if any, are displayed, and any one (or none) of them may be selected to determine the color of the entry on the Entry List screen.

FIELDS tab

The FIELDS library tab shows the library's pages as field tabs (displayed vertically), including the MAIN page and any other pages the user has previously defined, if any. The fields of the current page are displayed in order. Each field is shown in the following format:


Grab handle Genre icon Name
Type

Role
Field Menu
button

From left to right in the field display, we have the following.

Grab handle
The leftmost component of the field display is a grab handle. Using that, the field may be grabbed by touch or by mouse and dragged up or down to the desired position in field order.
Genre icon
This is an icon depicting the genre of the field type. FOR INSTANCE, all text field share the same icon.
Field name
This is the name of the field.
Type name
Below the field name is the field type.
Role
This is the role of the field: Name, Description, Status, or Thumbnail. If this component is black, the field plays no role or is a Regular Field.
Field Menu button
The rightmost component is a 3-dot menu button to bring up the Field Menu.

Also provided is an Add (+) button for adding a new page or for adding a new relationship, subheader, or field to the current page of the library.

Add Field
This action creates a new field on the current page. A list of field types is presented, and the user may select the type of field to be added. The Field Edit card for that field type is presented, after which the field will be added to the bottom of the set of goals on the page.
Add Subheader
This action creates a new field subheader. The user is prompted for the subheader name. The subheader appears among the fields and may be repositioned among the fields in typical fashion.
Add Page
This action creates a new field page. The user is prompted for the page name. Initially, the MAIN page is the only page and thus the default page. Subsequently, a user-added page may be set as the default page.
Add Relationship
This action creates a relationship, implemented as a many-to-many Link To Entry field on the current page, to a library. A list of libraries is displayed, among which, the user is to select one to which to link. The Link To Entry field takes the name of the linked library.

Field menu

Pressing the Field Menu button items the menu, which contains the following options.

Move to page
A list of pages (other than the current page) is displayed, and the user can select the page to which the field should be moved.
One row with prev
This setting causes the field to be displayed on both the Field View Card and the Field Edit Card on the right portion of the screen, generally on the same line with the previous field to its left.
Add a field above
This option is equivalent to the Add button described above except that the field will be positioned just above the current field.
Add a field below
