Finish Line Implementation: What Is Finish Line

What is Finish Line Status?
Finish Line Status is a powerful tool that helps you and your reporters stay on track to meet their Goal Hours. It shows whether a reporter is Ahead, On Track, Behind, or Really Behind — and provides actionable data, like how many hours they need to average per day or week to successfully complete their term by their Personal End Date.
This feature is all about helping your reporters cross the finish line!
The Timesheet Glossary
The Impact Suite’s timesheet system uses a set of specialized terms to describe how hours are tracked, calculated, and reported. Understanding this vocabulary is essential for both admins and reporters — especially as more advanced features like Finish Line Status, Buffers, and Time Off Calendars are enabled.
This glossary defines the key terms you’ll see throughout the timesheet system. Each entry explains not just what the term means, but also how it impacts a reporter’s progress toward their Goal Hours and their overall experience in the system.
Use this Timesheet Glossary as a reference whenever you encounter unfamiliar terms in Mission Control, Timesheet Templates, or Timesheet Reports. By ensuring a common understanding, your program can manage hours more accurately, support reporters more effectively, and get the most out of the Finish Line feature.
