Organizing Settings

A separate configuration by usage.

The settings are organized into sections to distinguish between daily preferences, your space’s identity, optional features, the catalogs used in the app, and data-related settings.

You don't need to modify every section before you get started. Mnémosyne can be used with a simple setup and then gradually adapted to your business.

General

Preferences of everyday life.

The General section contains the settings that directly affect your day-to-day use of Mnémosyne.

In particular, you can identify your local vault, choose the app's appearance, set the default reminder, and adjust the automatic lock timeout.

The display of icons in the sidebar can also be turned on or off according to your preference.

Name of the safe

Give it a clear name to your local area.

The vault is the local storage space where Mnemosyne stores your data. You can customize its name in the General settings.

The interface also lets you rename the vault when its name needs to be changed. Use a name that is descriptive enough to easily identify your workspace.

i
The vault remains stored locally on your Mac.

The vault name is used to identify your data storage space. Information regarding its storage, backup, and security is detailed in the Security & Data guide.

Your name Allows you to identify the owner of the space.

Local Identity of the Space

«My Activity» is not a customer file.

This section is intended solely to identify the owner of the Mnémosyne space.

The information provided here does not create a client, an assignment, or a business relationship. It describes your own business or organization.

The name of the business or organization is required. Your name, country or region, and a logo can complete this profile.

Language and Region

Customize the interface for your use.

Use the "Language and Region" section to select the language that Mnémosyne uses for its labels and interface.

If the display or certain labels do not match what you expect, this section is one of the first settings you should check.

i
Select the language when you start the program for the first time.

The user guide recommends checking the application's language and default settings before you start organizing your first folders.

Modules

Just enable the features you need.

Some of Mnémosyne's tools are optional. The "Modules" section lets you show or hide them depending on how you work.

In the current version, financial tracking can be enabled when you want to track financial information in your files.

If you don't need it, you can leave it turned off to keep the interface simpler.

Elective Module

Financial Monitoring

Enable this module only when your specific needs require tracking of accounts or financial information.

Disabling it hides the views and financial fields without deleting the existing data.

Organize Your Choices

Types of Assignments and document categories.

Mnémosyne uses reusable catalogs to avoid having to recreate the same types of tasks or classifications for each new file.

Types of Assignments

Organize mission templates

This section allows you to manage the catalog of assignment types used to organize your various work topics.

These types are reused when you create or edit a task, which helps maintain a consistent organization across folders.

Manage Assignment Types
Document Categories

Stabilize the document classification system

Document categories organize the import and classification of documents using reusable categories.

When importing a document, the selected type determines the category in which the document will be filed.

Manage Document Categories
i
Keep your catalogs simple.

Increasing the number of task types or document categories without a real need for them quickly complicates filing. Add only those distinctions that have lasting value for your business.

Other sections

Settings also provides access to the License and Activation, Storage and Security, and Data and Trash sections.
