Reviewing a Month Without Discards

An empty month can be a useful view without proving that the whole household wasted nothing. The filter should show the records in that period and leave records from other months intact.

Your only discard record is dated this month. You want to review a different month with no records.

Switch to a month without records

1. Record a confirmed discard through inventory and open Food Waste Tracker.
2. Choose a different month with no recorded discards and select Review records.
3. Return to the month of the discard and review again.

The saved event has not disappeared

The empty month shows no discards recorded for the period. Returning to the recorded month shows the original event.

The empty view means there are no recorded discards in the selected period. Returning to the recorded month restores its visible event; it was filtered out, not deleted.

Use the same month when comparing a specific event across inventory and the tracker.
