Page incomplete and under development
The entries in the open library are displayed as a list.
The Library Entries List screen has the following parts:
The Entries List
Library entries are listed in the default or specified sort order, grouped if/as specified, and filtered if/as specified.
Besides the list, there is an Exit arrow in the upper-left corner, a Search button (magnifying glass icon) at the top, a 3-dot Action menu in the upper-right corner, and a right-side pullout menu.
- Touching the Exit arrow
- Exits the screen, generally back to a Libraries List screen.
- Touching the Search icon
- Allows entry of a Search key into a text box. Upon pressing OK, a Search within the Library is conducted and a list of matching entries displayed. In the entry list header box, the number of matching entries is shown.
- Touching the 3-dot Action menu icon
- Opens the Action menu.
- Touching an entry
- Opens the Entry View card for the entry
Entry display
Each entry is displayed in the list as follows:
Thumbnail (if any) |
Edit tools (if any) |
Concatenated Name field values Description |
Status values |
---|
- Thumbnail
- If an Image field within the library has been assigned the Role of Thumbnail, the value of that field will be displayed as an Image, reduced in size.
- Edit tools
- Any field eligible for editing within a list will have an edit tool displayed. For a Boolean (checkbox) field, a checkbox will show the current value, and pressing the checkbox will toggle the value of the field. The other eligible field types have composite values, in which case, a button will be displayed, which, when pressed, will pop up a list of values that may be edited.
- Concatenated Name field values
- The value of the Name field is displayed. If there are multiple Name fields, their concatenation, with spaces separator(s) is displayed. The space for display of Name values is one line.
- Description
- The value of the Description field is displayed. If there are multiple Description fields, their concatenation, with spaces separator(s) is displayed. The space for display of Description values is two lines.
- Status values
- Any Status fields are displayed, one per line, at the right edge of the entry display.
"Slicing & Dicing" Entries — The Entries List Right Side Menu
The Right Side Menu may appear differently depending on the size of the device. On tablets, an icon-only portion of the menu may always show, and the remainder, with text, may be dragged out from the right edge of the screen. On phones, the icon-only menu may not appear, but the full menu may still be dragged out from the right, with text. Once the menu is fully out, it may be put back in by dragging the main portion of the screen to the right.
Menu options are as follows:
- View
- Set the view of the Entries List to List or Table.
The View icon indicates the current setting, and is either a 3-line icon with a dot preceding each line (indicating a list view) or a grid icon (indicating a table view).- List View
- Set the view to List View. Entries are displayed as list items, with values only of fields with specific roles displayed.
- Table View
- Set the view to Table View. Entries are displayed as rows in a table, with (generally) all field values displayed.
- Cloud
- If the library is currently not in the Memento Cloud, the Cloud icon will not contain a checkmark, and pressing it causes the Library to immediately be synced to the Cloud. If the library is in the cloud, the icon will contain a checkmark, and upon pressing it, the Cloud Library Status card is displayed.
- Sort
- The 3-line icon in which the lines are longer, medium, and shorter (from top to bottom) and are left-justified is the Sort icon. Press it to sort the list of entries by the values of one or more fields.
- Group
- The 3-dots-in-a-triangle icon causes the list of entries to become a list of groups of entries, groups by the values of a library field. After touching the icon, the user is prompted to select the field to group entries by; alternatively, the user may choose No Grouping, instead, which will return the list to individual (ungrouped) entries.
When The list is grouped, pressing a group element will open (and subsequently close) a list of only those entries of that group (whose values match that of the grouped field). The group element also serves to contain the values of aggregation functions, such as subtotals.
- Filter
- The 3-line icon in which the lines are longer, medium, and shorter (from top to bottom) and are centered is the Filter icon. Use filters to restrict the list to entries containing certain field values. Users may create any number of filters, save them with a Name for each, and activate any, all, or none of them at any time.
- History
- The History option opens the Entry Edit History List screen, which shows for each entry the concatenated Name value and the date & time of last view or edit of the entry. As with the normal Entries List, the user may touch an entry to view it or select (touch and hold) an entry to perform other actions (like Edit) on the Entry.
- Favorites
- Pressing the Favorites icon invokes the built-in Favorites filter, which limits the list to those entries marked as a favorite.
- Recycle bin
- Pressing the Recycle Bin icon invokes the built-in Recycle Bin filter, which limits the list to this entries in the Recycle Bin.
- Charts
- Pressing the Chart icon items the Charts List screen. The Add (+) button superimposed on the list-right Orion of the screen enables the user to add a new chat definition to the list. Pressing it pops up one of several Chart Spec Edit cards: Pie, Line, Area, Bar, Columns, Scatter, or Stepped Area. Likewise, when an existing chart is selected from the list, the corresponding Chart Spec Edit card is opened.
- Files
- Even the Files icon is pressed, the Attached File List card is opened, showing existing attached files, if any. The list may be sorted or grouped.

Touching the 3-line menu in the upper-left corner of the screen opens the Group/Main Menu, which allows selection of the Group to be displayed.
