iXBRL Tagging within the Data Screens

In addition to tagging items within the Tag Editor it is also possible to apply iXBRL tagging to freeform text entered within the Data Screens.

It is essential that the user checks that they are in the correct folder (UK or International) before completing any tagging. The text that the user is tagging should be highlighted first within the data screen, then to launch the Tag Editor Mapping Control use one of the following functions:

The mapping control is used in exactly the same way as if it were opened when an iXBRL report is generated. For further help refer to the Mapping Tool- Mapping Control Tab help topic.

In addition to being able to tag items within the data screens it is also possible to run a iXBRL Tagging Summary Report to view all of the tags that have been set within the data screens so far. To do this select: iXBRL | iXBRL Tagging Summary Report. For further information refer to the Main Menu help below.

 

Data Screens - iXBRL Tagging button

Once iXBRL Tagging is selected from one of the options above the Mapping Tool window will be displayed.

The entire content of a multi-line text box can be tagged by highlighting all available text before selecting the iXBRL Tagging option however the outcome of this would be the same had the text been tagged within the Tag Editor.  Tagging within the data screens is more applicable where individual selections within the text is required to be tagged.

The Mapping Tool works in the same way as when it is used within the Tag Editor, see Mapping Tool for further information.  

It will not be possible to tag a report item with a concept type which does not match the tagged value e.g. a text report item can not be tagged with a monetary item type concept.  Where an invalid selection is made a warning will be displayed, in such cases an alternative selection should be made.

Once an item has been tagged, it will be displayed within the Data Screen with a dark purple border. Double clicking on these items will then re-launch the Mapping Tool, where the concept and associated attributes can be updated or the mapping itself deleted.

Within the data screens there are no default tags applied, as such the Apply Defaults option within the Mapping Control is disabled. It is possible however to clear any selections made by applying the Clear Mapping function.  This option is also available directly from the Data Screens by selecting to right mouse click on the highlighted item and selecting Clear mapping.

The mapping control function requires the user to save each selection that they make when tagging items in the data screen. If the Mapping Tool is closed without saving, then the user will be prompted on screen whether or not to save the changes before the window is closed.

A tagged item can be edited by placing the cursor within the highlighted area and starting to type, an edit window will be displayed which also includes the concept and context applied to the mapping. Once the edit is complete select OK to confirm.  Caution should be used when editing tagged data, always confirm the concept currently applied is still relevant after editing.  If all data within a tagged item is deleted when OK is selected the mapping will also be removed, otherwise editing the content will not alter the mapping details (this should be done via the Mapping Tool).

Any tagging applied within the Data Screen will be shown within the Tag Editor once the iXBRL accounts are generated.  Within the Tag Editor the Mapping Tool will indicate a mapping which has been applied within the Client (Data screens).  Such tags can be edited and any changes will be applied back to the item within the Data Screen however if a Client (Data screens) tag is removed from within the Tag Editor it is only possible to re-apply the tag back in the Data Screens (unless the entire text is to be tagged)."

 

Data Screens - iXBRL Tuple Groups

The toolbar and iXBRL menu also has an option allowing the user to open the Tuple Group screen. This works in the same way as if opening the tuple group screen when generating the iXBRL report. For further help refer to the Mapping Control - Tuple Groups Editor and the Working Example of a Tuple Group help topics.

 

Data Screen - iXBRL Main Menu options

The third option on the iXBRL menu is the iXBRL Tagging Summary Report button. This produces a report for either all of the items that have been tagged or those that are tagged within the data screen that is currently being viewed. This report provides information regarding the content of the tag, the data screen in which it is and the iXBRL tag details being the concept and the context. The report can be printed directly at the time of generation or can be viewed on screen within its own report viewer window. This report viewer then holds its own functions for viewing and printing the document, though IRISPTP cannot be accessed again until this report viewer window is closed.

The Summary Tag Report that is generated is for user reference only and is not an iXBRL accounts report. To run an iXBRL report select Reports | iXBRL and then generate the required report type.
