Taxonomies
In the Taxonomies tab, you can specify one or more taxonomies from which positions will be used within the project.
Only a single ESMA ESEF taxonomy can be used for iXBRL tagging purposes
A taxonomy is added to the project by selecting it from the left-hand side taxonomy list by left-clicking and clicking Add
A taxonomy is added to the project by selecting it from the right-hand side taxonomy list by left-clicking and clicking Remove
To save a project, at least one taxonomy must be added to the project.
Fact collections
The values of the positions of an XBRL taxonomy are called facts. In the application, these facts are organized in fact collections.
To save a project, at least one fact collection must be created.
Clients
From the perspective of reporting, the term client is an essential criterion for the selection of facts used to create a filing and for the purposes of ESEF reporting represents the reporting entity itself
To save a project at least one client must be created.
Periods
Fact for different reporting periods can be defined within the same project, Therefore, in every project, there should be exactly one leading period that represents the current reporting period. When creating periods it is necessary to ensure that the current reporting period is marked as the main one by selecting the appropriate checkbox.
For any period, the following information can be provided:
- Name - the period name. This name will be used in the column headers of the data visualization reports. Our recommendation is to pick the period names carefully particularly if you are expecting to roll the project forward so that the names can be used in the upcoming reporting periods.
- Description - text description of a reporting period
- Duration- the timeframe the period encompasses. Can be annual, semiannual, quarterly, or custom. If the custom option selected, the beginning and end of the period can be set directly - otherwise, the end date will be automatically adjusted based on the start date and the selected duration.
- Period start - the date the reporting period begins
- Period end - the date the reporting period ends
- Main - selecting this checkbox marks the period as the leading one. The selection is possible only for one period at a time within the project.
In order to save a project, at least one leading period must be configured in the project
