The following terms include those that are Memento-specific and those that relate to the user of databases and mobile applications.

; Aggregation : In Memento, the set of operations and views that apply to the entire library or to each entry group in the library as well as to the entire library. Operations include sum, average, maximum, and minimum. Views include showing entries from related libraries when they are related to the shown entries of the current library.

; Autofill : In Memento, the act of filling in data from an appropriate external data source when an entry is created

; Card : Synonym: dialog, form<br/>A proper subset of a screen that pops up "in front of" a screen to support the collection of information or performance of a task, and upon completion, returns to the "underlying" screen.

; Dialog : Synonym: card, form (In Memento, the term ''card'' is preferred.)<br/>A proper subset of a screen that pops up "in front of" a screen to support the collection of information or performance of a task, and upon completion, returns to the "underlying" screen.

; Entry : Synonyms: record, row<br/>A unit of fielded data within a library

; Filter : The restriction of a list of library entries based on field values

; Form : Synonym: card, dialog (In Memento, the term ''card'' is preferred.)<br/>A proper subset of a screen that pops up "in front of" a screen to support the collection of information or performance of a task, and upon completion, returns to the "underlying" screen.

; Group :

:; Context - Memento Library List : A subdivision of the libraries in a database. Groups simplify lists of libraries. They are merely containers; there is no Group functionality.

:; Context - Memento Entries List : The act of summarizing a list of entries by the values of a field of the library.<br/>See '''Right-side Menu'''.

; Library : Synonym: table<br/>A container for entries (records, rows) of fielded data

; List : A list is just a list &mdash; a sequence of items of whatever sort. There are a few primary lists of interest in Memento, however, starting with the list of libraries and the list of entries within a Library. Each of these is a dedicated screen.

; Page :

:; Context - Memento Entry Cards : A subdivision of the set of fields of a library. The initial page for a library is on a tab called MAIN. The user can add more pages; each will have a name and a tab; and each will have its own set of fields. Each entry in a library contains all fields across all pages.

:; Context - the Moment Wiki : Add in any wiki, the information is organized primarily in pages. These are Web pages. The secondary organizing unit in wikis is the category.

; Record : Synonyms: entry, row (In Memento, the term ''entry'' is preferred.)<br/>A unit of fielded data within a library

; Row : Synonyms: entry, record (In Memento, the term ''entry'' is preferred.)<br/>A unit of fielded data within a library

; Sort : The ordering of a list of entries of library data by the values of one or more fields of the library

:; Context - Memento Entries List : An Action one can perform on the entries in an Entries List.<br/>See '''Right-side Menu'''.

; Table : Synonym: library (In Memento, the term ''library'' is preferred.)<br/>A container for rows (entries, records) of fielded data
