Impact Suite Language Guide

Your Impact Suite is super customizable and is meant to reflect the culture of your organization, down to the words you use to describe the people, places, and types of service action you perform.

In our Support Center, we use generic terms in our instructions, so everyone can use them.

What does this mean for you?
Likely, the terms we use in these articles won't precisely match what you see if your Impact Suite. This article provides a quick reference so that you can translate our generic terms into what you are seeing.
