Home of the Memento Wiki

This is the home page of the Memento user wiki.

Introduction

Welcome to the Memento Database wiki. It was developed by enthusiastic users of the Memento Database app starting in 2016. Please stay tuned for the upcoming major update of the wiki later this year.

The wiki seeks to provide any information ancillary to the Memento products themselves that will be helpful in using Memento to assist in users' lives, careers, pursuits, etc.

To make use right now of the wiki, take note the banner menu at the top of the page. Together with this Home page, the menu is intended to be the primary gateway for you to access ALL the pages published in the wiki.

To learn about the wiki, go to About the Memento wiki The wiki's original author's blog archive is (will be) full of helpful articles, examples, templates, and skeleton databases to assist in making use of Memento. You can read it at Bill's Memento Database mementos.

Appendices

See About:Architecture of the Memento app to see how Memento works & is put together.

Appendix: The Application layer: Actions to be taken as a result of the user interface activity

The application section is made up of the Memento app itself and then, optionally, actions to be taken as specified by scripting by the user, as described here.

Appendix: The Data layer: Database & library structure

Libraries can be linked so they can work together as a database. So, each library has a structure of fields & other things (see below for what make up its structure), and each database has a structure of libraries & links between them (see About:Database structure#Examples for an example).
