General Settings

Disable CDN iXBRL Viewer

If the CDN (Content Delivery Network) is used, the Auditor always uses the latest version of iXBRL Viewer. Disabling the option may be necessary if the Auditor has to work without Internet access.

Enable Subchecks

Users who are not familiar with the Auditor can use this option to add additional checks to the Presentation Treeview. There they will get more detailed information about what to check. For example, the period or the sign.

Enable Checklist for Guidance 2.2.6 - Technical construction of a block

Guidance 2.2.6 messages have been removed from the main validation because almost every report generated from a PDF has issues with this rule. With this option, all facts that have issue with this guidance can be displayed in the checklist. The reviewer can then decide for each case individually whether the tag meets the specifications or not.

Enable report file locking

If several users work with reports located on a network drive, it can happen that two users accidentally open the same file. If this option is enabled, a warning is displayed when trying to open a file that is already open by another user.

Jump-to-Fact on click

If this option is enabled, the iXBRL Viewer will automatically display a selected fact.

Check for software updates automatically

Each time the application is launched, it automatically checks for an updated version. Disabling the option may be necessary if the Auditor has to work without Internet access.

Filing Rules

This setting allows you to select the Filing Rules that will be used for validation. By default, the associated rules are automatically detected based on the report.

Colors

Checklist Validation Status Difference

If the status in the checklist is manually set to OK although the auto status is set to Failed, this difference is highlighted in color. With this option the color can be changed or the marking can be completely deactivated.

XHTML Table Highlight Color

XHTML tables inside text blocks can be highlighted in the iXBRL Viewer and in the Show Full Fact Value window using this color. 

iXBRL Viewer

Show iXBRL Viewer Toolbar

Will add a Toolbar on top of the iXBRL Viewer to add Highlight to XHTML Tables and change the Highlight Border Thickness.

Use transparency for highlight of XBRL elements

In some reports, the background of elements does not take the size that the content needs, but instead the complete page. This causes other elements on the page to "disappear" when an element is selected. Because then the background of the selected element is highlighted. To leave the non-selected elements visible anyway, a transparency can be added to the selection color. 

Highlight XHTML tables in iXBRL Viewer 

Tables in text blocks can be made more visible. They get a colored border. The color itself can be changed in the Colors settings.

XHTML Table Highlight Border Thickness

The border thickness for the highlighing in the iXBRL Viewer. The thickness may appear different when the view is scaled (zoomed).

Mandatory Tags

For the validation of text blocks in the XBRL Auditor, Check 17 has been added to the checklist. All mandatory text blocks from the ESEF taxonomy are validated for the loaded report. Since there are a lot of information involved, the text blocks have been grouped according to their references. These reference groups are sub-items of Check 17.

Show Subchecks (References Groups) in Checklist

If no sub-items for the reference groups are to be displayed in the checklist for Check 17, they can be deactivated with this option. A complete listing of all missing text blocks can be obtained at any time by double-clicking the Check Details for Check 17 in the checklist.

Show only missing tags in Checklist

Because there can be a lot of mandatory text blocks in a taxonomy, you may not want to show all of them in the checklist, but only the text blocks that are actually missing in the report.  Tags, and possibly reference groups, that are present will then no longer be displayed in the checklist. 

Note

The options Show only missing tags in Checklist and Show Subchecks (References Groups) in Checklist do not only affect the checklist. The Excel export of the audit report is also adapted accordingly.

Summarize all Guidance 2.2.6 issues into one message

This option also has an effect on the the Excel export of the Audit Report and the Validation Results.

XHTML Tables

According to German specifications, it should be checked whether text blocks contain XHTML tables. This additional check can be activated here. It is deactivated by default. The checklist is then extended by an additional item (18). There it is shown which tag contains tables, and how many tables. 

Show Subchecks for each Fact

It is possible to list all tags with tables below Check 18 individually. If disabled, a complete listing of all text blocks containing tables can be obtained at any time by double-clicking the Check Details for Check 18 in the checklist.
