Longitudinal Review

Entries can be reviewed by period so cravings are compared across time instead of relying only on memory or isolated anecdotes.

Descriptive Only

The tool does not infer relapse risk, clinical severity, or causes from the log data.

Is intensity required?

Intensity is enabled by default because the tool supports monitoring intensity over time, but the setting can be turned off.

What if there are no entries in a review period?

The review shows no reported episodes for that period without interpreting the absence.

Can a client enter approximate times?

Yes. Approximate times are supported while preserving the chronology of entries.
