Glossary

In this chapter, you will find the individual steps required to generate a report using Disclosure Management. The presented sequence of steps is our recommendation for configuring and creating a result document in the most effective way possible.

You do not have to follow the recommended sequence in detail. If necessary, individual steps can also be carried out at a different time. For greater clarity, we have focused on the main steps and have not described optional detailed steps.

Creating a Document

In the Dashboard, new documents are created and all the documents that have been created in Disclosure Management are displayed.

Create a new document in the

Dashboard

Creating a Chapter Structure

For a document managed by Disclosure Management, you can create as many chapters and chapter levels as you need to structure the document.

Create the structure of the document in the

Manage Chapters

workspace.

Creating Periods

A period is a time frame for which report data are imported and saved. For a document, you can create and manage as many periods as you need, e.g. current year or previous year.

Create the required periods in the

Manage Periods

workspace.

Defining Data Sources

Data sources form the basis of a data import from a source system and/or a source file into Disclosure Management.

In the

Import Management

area, configure the data source(s) to import the desired data into Disclosure Management.

Configuring and Executing a Data Import

During a data import, data are imported into Disclosure Management from the source systems used.

In the

Import Data

workspace, configure the data import and import the data from the source system into Disclosure Management.

Creating and Programming Excel Files

Excel files form the main basis for using report data from a source system. Data from Excel files are embedded in Word files in such a way that the values in the report are updated automatically if the Excel data are updated, e.g. as a result of an additional data import. Carry out the following individual steps:

In the

Cockpit

, create Excel files for the chapters to include the report values from the source system.

Insert

Name Columns, Value Columns, and Programming Columns

in the Excel tables.

Carry over report values to the Excel file using the

Programming Assistant

Insert

Outreas

in the Excel tables.

Creating and Configuring Word Files

Word files play a key role in Disclosure Management when it comes to creating a business report. The final result document is built using Word files. Carry out the following individual steps:

In the

Cockpit

, create Word files for the chapters of the document.

Insert

Outareas

from the Excel files in the Word files where report values are to be displayed.

If necessary, insert

Text Values

If necessary, assign a

Layout

to outareas.

If necessary, tag text blocks in the Word document using

XBRL Tags

Creating and Configuring Validations

Validations check and ensure the consistency of values within a document.

Create and configure the necessary validations in the

Manage Validations

workspace.

Checking and Adjusting Report Values

Report values imported from a source system can be manually checked, updated, and modified in the data view. The values must be checked, for example, to avoid and correct errors when rounding or validating the report values.

Open the

Data View

for all programmed Excel files and check the displayed values.

If necessary, adjust any incorrect report values.

Configuring and Creating the Result Document

The result document is the final report created by Disclosure Management.

Configure and generate the result document in the

Creation

workspace.
