"That's it. She got her results" (Ça y est)

"That's it. She got her results" (Ça y est)

HI there, long time fan, first time commenter. 


I have no idea what 'that's it' is supposed to mean in this context? It isn't a phrase I would ever use unless used in the following scenarios: 


"That's it! You've cracked the case." (When referring to a previous piece of information or clue or input).

"That's it. I've had enough." 

"That's it. I've been looking for it everywhere" (here I would use 'that's the one' instead).

Could you please provide an alternative of what this is supposed to mean? As this translation feels awfully unnatural to me. Is this a specific phenomenon that can't really be translated or is situational? As I would never say "That's it. She finally got her results" in this way?
