Close out a quarter or time period

End-of-quarter steps: refresh tracked values, score your goals, carry goals forward into the next period, and make it current.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

At the end of a quarter, score what you finished and move the rest into the next period. Your history stays in the old period.

Close out a period #

  1. 1
    Refresh tracked values
    On each auto-tracked goal, click the refresh icon on its connection to read the latest value. See How often it updates.
  2. 2
    Score each goal
    Check in with Completed, pick the score, and write what happened in the same check-in. See Score a goal.
  3. 3
    Clone the goals you carry forward
    Select them, stage the next Time period in the toolbar, flip Clone, and click Clone…. See Clone a goal.
  4. 4
    Make the next period current
    An admin who can manage time periods sets the new period as Current. See Roll over to a new time period.
The floating bar for selected goals, with Time period, Clone and Apply.
Success check
Scored goals leave Check in. The copies show in the next period's views with no check-ins.
  • Scored goals stay in the old period's views. Set the Status filter to Completed to list them.
  • Score parents yourself too. A parent's score is not calculated from its sub-goals; only progress rolls up.

To review a past quarter later, pick it in a view's time period filter. See Views.
