Overview
The XBRL document workspace is the main workspace in the XBRL Tagger. The documents from the Dashboard are tagged in the XBRL document workspace.
This article contains the following sections:
XBRL Document Workspace
The XBRL document is divided principally into three areas:
- Document: shows the document currently open. In the document:
- The status of the tags is displayed in color. Areas marked in green, for example, have already been tagged, checked, and accepted and have therefore been assigned the Final state.
- Elements provided with a content control element are marked in yellow. The areas marked in yellow in a document must be tagged. As soon as you mark the area of a content control element, the area is displayed in blue. This allows you to easily identify what exactly belongs to the content control element.
- A red triangle may be displayed in the top, left corner of value cells. The red triangle indicates that there is a validation message for this value. Move the cursor onto the red triangle to display the reason for the validation message in a tool tip.
Content control elements are Word elements that can be created, for example, in the Disclosure Management solution or in a Word document outside the CFO Solution Platform.
- Detailed and additional information: Depending on the view selected in the sidebar, additional and detailed information about the currently open document is displayed. The following can be displayed:
- Taxonomy: The taxonomy used in the document.
- Calculations: Mathematical relationships between elements of the annual financial statements (e.g., total assets = current assets + fixed assets).
- Validations: Checks of the document for errors, validity, and completeness.
The functions in the Tagging, Properties, and Taxonomy areas are described in detail in Tagging a Document.
