Chart level tagging can be accessed via Setup | Accounts Chart, select chart and Amend | iXBRL Tags
Chart Level Tagging allows report items that are generated within a set of iXBRL accounts to be tagged or updated (if an Issued tag already exists) ‘globally’ for all clients using a particular chart of accounts.
Not all report items are available for chart level tagging. If a report item cannot be found, tagging for that item should be carried out at Client Level via the Tag Editor.
The report items provided for chart level tagging can be updated by either Concept or Dimension (see below for further information).
Where an existing Issued tag is updated the new Custom tag will take precedence and will appear automatically within the Tag Editor for the appropriate report item (where it appears).
Any Custom chart level tag (or Issued tag) can also be updated via the Tag Editor to be stored at Client Level. Where a Client Level tag exists, this will take precedence over both Issued and Custom tags.

The iXBRL Tags screen displayed has a Quick menu at the top of the screen where File | Exit and Help options are available and a Ribbon menu with a Hide Panel and matching Help option.
Hide Panel - when selected will hide the report component menu tree located on the left of the screen. This will give more room to display the report item details if required.
There are three main areas to the iXBRL Tags screen:
Menu Tree – displays the report component tree structure containing report items available for chart level tagging
Report Items - displays all linked occurrences of the selected report item and the relevant mapping details associated with those items
Mapping Control – is the tool that displays all of the taxonomy concept, dimension and tuple group details for each tagged report item and is used to tag/edit tags of the selected report item(s).
The Report Items section in the middle of the screen can be re-sized by dragging and moving the left hand border of the Mapping Control as required.
By default the menu tree will be displayed with all branches closed. The highest level will display the chart of accounts being edited; for example, ELTD with report items listed below in a tree view.
If the menu tree panel isn’t displayed click Show Panel on the Ribbon menu.
The menu tree is a fixed structure but will display the most up to date descriptions where applicable.
Options:
Close Branches – select this icon to restore the tree structure to the default view with all branches closed.
Search – use this field to search the menu tree for a specific report item, a next and previous button are available where more than one result is found.
Within the menu tree select each item marked with an > (arrow) or double click to expand/collapse. Any item with an arrow identifies child items exist.
All child items will contain mapping details, some higher level items are for tree structure purposes only and the main Report Items section may be blank when these are selected.
Menu Tree Icons:
An item within the menu tree could be identified with:
[ R ] – Report Component OR Fixed Report Item
[ A ] – Report Item relating to an Account
[ G ] – Report Item relating to a Group
Colour Key:
Each Icon could be coloured:
GREEN - IRISPTP Default or Fixed description
BLUE - User override description
An item is marked with [ R ] is either a Report Component which is a high level category for other report items OR a Fixed Description Report Item which is one which doesn’t relate to a specific account/group within the chart of accounts but does exist as an item with the iXBRL accounts.
A Report Component will not contain any mapping details and is for tree structure purposes only.
A Fixed Description Report Item (no child items exist) indicates an item within the iXBRL accounts which does not pick up its description from an account or group number, these items will display all occurrences of that report item and related mapping details within the Report Items panel.
Those items marked with [ A ] - account or [ G ] – group are report items within the iXBRL accounts which relate to an account or group within the chart of accounts. When selected these items will show the Account/Group number and corresponding Description that is currently applied to the selected chart of accounts, whether that be the chart Default description or user Override (reference Colour Key above).
The description shown against the menu tree item will therefore match the description used within the iXBRL accounts (if applicable).
The description of the menu tree item should not be confused with the description of the report item(s) within the Report Items section (see below for further details).
When an item is selected details will be displayed within the Report Items section (if applicable).
Where an appropriate report item is selected from the menu tree (that is, not a report component) all occurrences of that report item linked for iXBRL purposes will be displayed within the Report Items section.
Occurrences of a report item means those items which would have the same meaning and would use the same Concept and/or Dimension when mapped for iXBRL purposes.
In most cases only two linked occurrences of a report item will be shown; for example, Current year and Last year, but there are some instances where multiple occurrences of a report item exist. For example, Tangible Fixed Assets - Additions.
Where a change is to be made to a report item (as explained below) a prompt will appear to ask whether the change should be applied to all linked items, in the majority of cases the answer to this would be ‘Yes’.
The mapping of report items available for chart level tagging can have Concept, Dimension OR Concept and Dimension set. Depending on the setting of the report item, the details provided within the Report Items section will differ accordingly.
To identify how the report items are linked at the top of the Report Items section one of the following will appear:
Concept Labels Linked
Dimensions Linked
Concept Labels and Dimensions Linked
Report Items – Concept or Concept and Dimension
When selected, these report items will display a column for Description, Concept Label, Context Reference and Dimensions. A full version of the Mapping Control will also be available including the Dimension Control and Taxonomy Browser where selection of all mapping details can be made.
The Concept Label and Dimensions shown will be applied automatically to those report items within the iXBRL accounts when generated.
Where a report item is linked by Concept only changes made to the Concept will be applied to ALL linked items. Where a Dimension is changed on an item linked only by Concept the change will only be applied to that item.
Report Items - Dimensions ONLY
These report items are available for setting of Default Dimension(s) only. When selected a column for Description and Dimensions will be displayed. The Dimensions can be updated using the Dimension Control.
For items linked by Dimension only the Mapping Control etc is not supplied as a change to the Concept is not permitted (there may be a separate menu tree item provided where such a change can be made).
All Dimension only report items have a default Dimension set selected with the default Dimensions applied, each Dimension can then be updated accordingly.
The Dimensions shown will be applied automatically to those report items within the iXBRL accounts when generated where an appropriate concept is selected, for example, if a concept is selected against that report item which doesn’t use the default Dimension set then the Dimension available will not be applied as they will not be relevant.
For all mappings the Mapping Control will indicate (bottom left corner) the current level at which the mapping details are stored, for example, Chart (IRISPTP Issued) or Chart (Custom)
Depending on the report item type as above the following columns may be displayed:
Description: - For each, a Description will be displayed to help identify each occurrence of the selected report item, for example, Current year, Last year and so on. The description is fixed and is for identification purposes only.
As above this is a pre-fixed description to identify the report item and is not showing the account/group descriptions themselves, that would come from the item within the menu tree.
Concept Label/Context Reference: - The Concept Label and Context Reference will appear where a report item can be tagged by Concept or Concept and Dimension. The details shown will be of the current mapping for that report item.
Dimensions: - All report items where tagging exists will also display the currently applied Dimensions.
Un-tagged report items - where a report item is available for chart level tagging and can be tagged by Concept or Concept and Dimension but has not currently been tagged, all columns (except Description) will be populated with N/A and the Mapping/Dimension Control will be empty (showing Concept selection is required).
