Validations

Overview

A document can be checked for errors, validity and completeness by means of validations. The XBRL Tagger has two types of validation:

  • Validations executed while editing the document, referred to as in-tool validations. The currently tagged areas are checked for inconsistencies and errors.
  • Validations that are automatically carried out when creating an iXBRL document.
