The iXBRL Editor allows the user to view and edit an iXBRL file which has been produced in the Accounts Production Tag Editor or from within IRIS Business Tax. The report can be viewed and content edited, report items can also be mapped to tags within the applicable taxonomies.
The report has four main areas to the screen, these are:
Quick Menu - by default this allows a user to view the help files.
Ribbon Menu - shows all of the menu options that can be applied to the report.
Reports desktop - shows tabs containing the Report, Hidden Tags , tag errors and iXBRL Preview.
Mapping Tool - Is the tool that holds all of the taxonomy concepts, dimensions and tuple groupings for the tagging report. The Report tab within the desktop area must be displayed to use any of these functions. This is the tab that will allow the report content to be amended by the user. The majority of the functions held within this tab are those that can be found within any MS Windows documents and as such function by either a button press or by using the standard shortcut keys.
