The **Behavior** tab is for tracking specific behaviors and the strategies your team used in response. Behaviors are organized into **categories** your organization configures — for example *Desirable*, *Challenging*, *Warning*, or custom group names. **Intervention Strategies** appears here as its own category, using the same logging pattern as other behavior rows.

## Logging a behavior

### On the web

1. Open **Track** and select the **Behavior** tab.
2. Find the right **behavior category** (e.g. *Challenging Behavior*).
3. Pick the specific behavior from the dropdown (e.g. *Aggression toward peers*).
4. Confirm or adjust the **Time**.
5. *(Optional)* Add a **Duration** in minutes.
6. Click the **+** button to save.

The entry appears in **Recorded Today** on the side, sorted by time.

### On mobile

1. Open the **Track** tab.
2. Select the **Behavior** section.
3. Pick the category, then the behavior.
4. Adjust time and duration as needed.
5. Tap save button.

## Logging an intervention

When the team responds to a behavior, log the **intervention strategy** in the **Intervention Strategies** section of the same Behavior tab:

1. Pick the strategy used (e.g. *Redirected to a quiet area*, *Verbal de-escalation*).
2. Set the time and duration.
3. Click **+** to save.

You can log multiple interventions the same day — each as its own entry with its own timestamp. On **Analyze**, they appear in time order alongside behaviors so cause-and-effect is easier to see.

## Tying behaviors to interventions

Behaviors and interventions are logged as separate rows, but they share the same day's record. If you want to spell out the connection, add a **comment** on one of the entries — see [Adding general notes and comments](https://support.behca.com/hc/behca-support/articles/adding-general-notes-and-comments).

## What shows under Analyze

Everything you log on **Track** — Behavior, Environment, Health, and MAR — can feed **Analyze** for that profile once there is data in the date range you select:

- **Analyze → Dashboard** — charts and summaries (frequency, duration, health metrics, and more depending on what you track).
- **Analyze → Audit Log** — a chronological list of entries for the profile and dates you chose.

See [Dashboard overview](https://support.behca.com/hc/behca-support/articles/dashboard-overview) and [Reading the audit log](https://support.behca.com/hc/behca-support/articles/reading-the-audit-log).

The more consistently you log, the more useful Analyze becomes after you set the date range and click **Update**.

## Tips for consistent tracking

- **Log as soon as you can.** You can set the time field back if you're logging later — see [Backdating entries](https://support.behca.com/hc/behca-support/articles/backdating-entries). Logging closer to when something happened is usually more accurate.
- **Use duration when relevant.** A brief outburst and a long episode are different — duration captures that.
- **Keep notes short and factual.** "Yelling for 3 minutes after lights came on" is more useful than "Bad day".
- **Align with your team on category definitions.** If two staff log the same incident under different behavior types, reports get harder to read.

## Common questions

- **The behavior I want isn't in the list.** — Someone with edit access adds labels on **Profile → Tracking Templates** under the right behavior category tile. After they save, the new option appears in the dropdown.
- **Can I log a behavior that lasted overnight?** — Set the start time to when it began. For very long stretches, some teams split into separate entries per session.
- **What if I logged the wrong behavior by accident?** — Edit or delete it. See [Editing or deleting an entry](https://support.behca.com/hc/behca-support/articles/editing-or-deleting-an-entry).
- **Will my colleagues see what I logged?** — Yes, anyone with access to this profile can see that day's entries.
