===Memento's structure &mdash; the Presentation, Application, and Data tiers===
! About the Memento ''application'' !! About the Memento ''wiki''
Like almost all modern applications, Memento employs a 3-tier structure.
;Memento tiers
:The '''''Presentation''''' tier &mdash; its ''user interface'' or ''UI'' on each edition & platform. This tier manages the screens & windows & their menus, buttons, and so on &mdash all interaction with the user.
:The '''''Application''''' tier &mdash; its actions taken upon user input or other events, like the saving of an entry. This tier manages these events, some of which are handled by Memento itself and some of which may be controlled by the user using scripting, generally in JavaScript.
 
===The Memento UI (user interface) &mdash; The '''''Presentation tier''''' indices===
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.

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.
