===Memento's structure &mdash; the Presentation, Application, and Data tiers===
Like almost all modern applications, Memento employs a 3-tier structure.
 
====Memento tiers====
*The '''''Presentation tier''''' &mdash; commonly called its '''''UI''''' or ''user interface''. The UI consists of &mdash; on the Mobile edition screens & on the Desktop edition windows &mdash; in either edition with cards (forms), menus, toolbars, buttons, and so on &mdash; to handle interaction with the user.
*The '''''Application tier''''' &mdash; actions taken upon user input or other such events, like the pushing of a button or saving of an entry. These events may be handled &dash; to some degree by Memento & to another degree by the use of '''''scripting''''' &mdash; manages these events, some of which are handled by Memento itself and some of which may be controlled by the user, generally in JavaScript.
*The '''''Data tier''''' &mdash; manages ''storage of & access to data''. This tier includes definitions of all libraries, fields (with any aggregations or autofills), entries, links among or relationships between libraries, templates, filters, synchronization of local data with data in the cloud, the <u>partial</u> synchronization of each library with Google Sheets, which can then be saved to Microsoft Excel files. <u>'''This'''</u> synchronization with (spreadsheets in Google Drive, as opposed to libraries in the ''Memento cloud'') of library links, item names names in Single-Choice List, Radio Buttons, Multiple-Choice List, Checkboxes, & List fields, and with tag names in Tags fields.

Like all indices, these provide direct access to the various facilities of Memento. The UI indices (one for each edition) are specific to the OS platforms it runs on.

==== ''Data Analysis'' in the ''Desktop edition'' (aka Slicing & dicing)<br/>Sorting, grouping, filtering, charting, aggregation====
 
{{NoteLine|As of Nov 2021, this section is merely a paste of the same section for the mobile edition. I don't have much experience with data analysis in the Desktop edition, so maybe someone (Beth, maybe with Ernst's help?) might fix it up to be accurate for the Desktop edition?  -Bill}}
 
Memento provides the ability to view entries in the Entries List as a straightforward list of entries. In addition, it provides an assortment of list features the user can use:
* to ''sort'' or view the entries in various orders (sequences),
* to ''filter'' the data to see only the entries you want to see, view entries in groups with subtotals,
* to ''chart'' or view the entries' field values plotted on a chart to give the user a visual image of how the data values relate to each other,
* and to ''aggregate'' or view totals & subtotals, averages, minimums, or maximums.
