'''This wiki''' is a living document (or set of documents) and as such is '''always''' under development and is nevertheless '''always working'''; we are always doing the best we can  with what we've got and making the most of it. If we know we need information, though we don't have it or haven't written it yet, it will just stop, with [[red links]] indicating pages yet to be written. You may also encounter pages that display an '''"UNDER DEVELOPMENT"''' note. We recommend you wait (from a few days to a few months, and (to be honest) occasionally a few years until the message goes away before reading, as it will likely be erroneous.


== The Memento Wiki ==
While most aspects of Memento are common between the Mobile and Desktop editions, this wiki (generally) contains only information about the Mobile edition of Memento. Each page shows at the top of the page the version of the Mobile edition current as of the most recent change to the page. It also shows the version number of the Desktop edition current as of that date. Note the Help accessible within the app and from Help on the MementoDatabase.com Web site. Memento Help contains assistance for both the Mobile and Desktop editions.
Though this wiki is largely complete, as far as it goes, it is nevertheless under development, and will continue to be. However, it will occasionally just stop, perhaps with red links indicating pages yet to be written.


The existing [[User manual|'''''User Manual''''']] and '''''[[FAQ]]''''' have been mostly subsumed within the wiki. They remain for reference, but their content has not been and generally will not be updated going forward, When their content is completely subsumed within the wiki, they will be removed.
An index to the pages of the wiki may be accessed via the following Index in the form of a table containing links to Wiki pages grouped vertically by topic and horizontally by the columns of Overviews, Specifications, Techniques, Tips, How, & Tutorials. Use the Index & wiki links throughout the wiki to navigate around among the pages of the wiki.


Areas of new growth will be Techniques pages, additional Overview pages, and Articles, including tutorials, as initial versions of most Spec pages have been created.
=== Where do I start with Memento? ===
To start at the beginning, read the '''[[Memento Database|Memento Overview]]'''.<br/>
Read '''[[Library|Library Overview]]''' about Memento's primary data structure.<br/>
The '''[[Field|Field Overview]]''' will get you started on the elements of data structure within libraries. Then, read in the Index, using Overviews as needed, and Articles, Tips, How-to, and Techniques to learn whether you need it. Use specifications to look up Memento components as needed.
 
=== Where do I go to learn how to use JavaScript to do more advanced things in Memento? ===
'''Advanced users''', use the Index below to navigate in Memento.
 
'''BEGINNERS IN MEMENTO JAVASCRIPT WANTING TO LEARN IT, go => [[Memento Wiki#WHAT TO READ UNTIL THE MEMENTO JAVASCRIPT TUTORIAL SECTIONS COME OUT|HERE]] <= to learn'''.
 
The wiki is continually under development, so stay tuned for more articles about Memento and its use. <!-- Note to authors:  One page of interest when you begin to use Memento, still under development as of the summer of 2020, is '''[[How:Structuring your Memento Database]]'''. -->
 
See [[Releases|'''what's new in Memento''']].
 
See '''[[Whats New in the Memento Wiki]]'''.

== Index ==
Within Specifications (or '''Specs'''), begin with '''[[User Interface]]''' for descriptions of screens, cards, menus, buttons, dialogs, etc.


=== Quick Index ===
'''[[Field]]''' is the best specification page for starting out with fields. '''[[Field Type]]''' is one of the most popular spec pages.

=== Overviews ===
== The Memento Database Desktop Edition ==
To start at the beginning, read '''[[Memento Database|Memento Overview]]'''.<br/>
 
Read '''[[Library|Library Overview]]''' about Memento's primary data structure.<br/>
'''''Please be aware that this section is currently under development.'''''
The '''[[Field|Field Overview]]''' will get you started on the elements of data structure within libraries.
 
Core functions of Memento Database are available not only from the mobile app but from the Desktop Edition for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.  The libraries created in Desktop Edition are synced via Memento Cloud and so are available on all devices you use.
 
=== Memento Database YouTube Channel ===
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNCXfD6ABC596q84dwbgQ3Q
 
=== Introduction ===
The Memento Database Desktop edition is a perfect complement to the Mobile edition.  I started with the mobile app and have never looked back.  With now over 25 libraries created I can store, manipulate, and manage my personal and small business data in real time, by using either edition.
 
This section is dedicated to the Desktop edition; however, when appropriate we will identify Desktop features that are different and/or not available in the Mobile edition.
 
=== Desktop Edition Welcome Page ===
Once you launch Memento Database Desktop, you get access to all libraries created from your account and the ones shared with you.
 
The Welcome page helps you choose where to start: 
:  '''New Library'''- create a new Library from scratch and adjust each and every field manually. 
:  '''Recent'''- manage libraries already created
:  '''Help''' - find answers to your questions on "Getting Started, Setting up Libraries, Working with data, Reports, Teamwork.
 
=== Main window interface ===
All features of Memento Database Desktop version are available from the main window.  It consists of these logical parts:
:  '''Title bar''' - located at the top of the window.  Your version of Memento Database and user name is displayed on the left.  To the right you will find the familiar minimize, maximize, and close buttons
:  '''Menu bar''' - appears as text directly below the Title bar.  Here one can choose “File”, “Account”, and “Help”.  Selecting one of these items presents an additional drop down menu of additional commands and information.
:  '''Sidebar''' - appears on the left side of the screen. Here one can navigate through the My libraries folder and the Shared with me folder.  Perform a search for entries in a specific library and/or all libraries.  Perform a search and download a Catalog template.
:  '''Status bar''' - located in the bottom left corner of the screen shows the notifications about Memento Database cloud usage.  For example 127 MB (0%) of 20GB.
:  '''Workspace''' -  the workspace is all the area inside the window to the right of the Sidebar.  The workspace changes depending on your selection in the Sidebar.
 
=== Customizing the window interface ===
There are two options to customize Memento’s window interface.  Bootstrap theme or Classic theme.  To choose your theme, select “Help” from the Menu bar, scroll down to “Theme”.
:'''Classic Theme'''

:'''Bootstrap Theme'''
:[[File:classic1.png|250px]]  [[File:classic2.png|175px]]


Stay tuned for articles about Memento and its use. An initial one, still under development, is '''[[Structuring your Memento Database]]'''.

'''[[Field Type]]''' is perhaps the most popular specification page.


=== Memento Editions & their Platforms ===
== Other assistance ==
Memento is offered in two editions: the Mobile Edition and the Desktop Edition.
Unlike before the wiki, nowadays the Memento app has some Help within the app, developed by LuckyDroid. You can access it right next to where you access the wiki. The Help is oriented less for Power Users than the wiki and more for general users and beginners.


==== The [[Memento Mobile Edition]] ====
The Mobile Edition was developed first and is available only for Android platforms.


==== The [[Memento Desktop Edition]] ====
== Previous, obsolete documentation (erroneous & misleading) ==
The Desktop Edition was developed in 2016 and runs as a Java application. It has specifically been tested for some Linux, Apple Macintosh, and Microsoft Windows releases.
<small>''Previous Memento documentation has been subsumed within the wiki. It is listed here for reference, but its content has not been updated in quite a while and is not likely to be updated going forward.


=== Wiki Page Categories ===
Its content is now obsolete.</small>
Every wiki page is in at least one category. You can see the page's categories at the very bottom of each page. To see a list of all wiki pages by their categories (similar to a site map), see the '''[[:Category:Memento]]''' page.
