Version 1.10: New Features

XBRL Tagger 1.10 offers several new features in regard to different areas of report creation and generation meant to enhance and facilitate your experience as users. Below, you can see a brief description of these improvements in areas such as PDF & Roll Forward, Document Settings, Report Generation, Usability, and ESG.

PDF & Roll Forward

PDF Information Panel (#1076)

It is our experience from previous years that users who work with PDF files may experience several issues while using the Tagger if they have not prepared the PDF following our recommendations. It is therefore important that PDF users take the time to read through our guidelines and prepare the PDF correctly before they start tagging. For this reason, after loading a new PDF file into the Tagger, a window pops up reminding users to follow our guidelines and gives them the possibility to open our guidelines page in the Tagger documentation.  

Roll Forward Optimization When Using Backup Functionality (#761)

As users already know, when they tag an early version of their PDF document, they can then copy the text block tagging to the newer version of the same PDF using the Backup/Restore functionality (Document → Backup Mapping/Restore Mapping):

However, it is now possible to tag some disclosures in the new version of the PDF and only later decide to restore the mapping from the previous version using the Restore Mapping functionality. In this case, the tags from both versions of the PDF files are merged and saved, if they do not overlap with each other. 

Roll Forward Wizard to Compare Text Block Mappings (#1072)

If you are working with PDF files, it is now possible to compare the differences between text block mappings of two different versions of your document. Tagger 1.10 introduces a wizard that helps users to visualize what has happened with the roll forward process and compare the results.

Let say you have an early, very simple one-page version of your report (V1) that has already been tagged and a later, more developed version of your report (V2) that has not been tagged yet.  You roll forward the mappings of your V1 to your V2 report and now you want to compare the results (to see how to perform a roll forward, check our documentation here)

First you have to save a backup mapping for the document you want to use as a comparison, let’s say our V1 backup.  Open V1 on the Tagger, then go to Document → Backup Mapping, and save the backup on your computer.

Then open V2 on the Tagger, go to Tool and click on Compare roll forwarded text mappings with external file…

Choose you V1 backup and open it:

 At this point, a new window will open that shows you the differences between the mappings of V1 and V2.

The ratio column indicates how much (0 to 1 ratio) of the content of that specific tag has changed between versions. If you click on one of the tags, the text of the two different versions of the document will appear in the boxes below. The sections that differ between the versions, words, sentences or numbers, will be highlighted for easy comparison. You can also see in these boxes if the text has different formatting between the two versions, for example a different font or if it is on two columns instead of one.

Switch Layer for Text Block Tags (#844)

It is now possible to move text block tags and their continuations from one layer to another available layer. If you have tagged a disclosure on the default layer and now want to move it to another layer where the same section has not been tagged yet, simply right click on it and select which available layer you want to move it to from the Switch Layer menu.

Document Settings

Additional Confirmation Window When Changing Label Handling Option (#614)

If the user wants to change the Label Handling Option from the Document Settings after the report has already been tagged, an additional confirmation window will now show up, asking to confirm the selection. [#614]

Validation Message for Deviation of Registry (#711)

When creating a document (or afterward via Document à Settings), the registry version is selectable.

This registry should be the only one to be used throughout the whole document.

Therefore, if a different registry is used rather than the one set up in Document Settings, an error message is now generated when applying In-tool validation (or Validation → Validate document).

For example, if the report is set to Registry 3 (which does not allow cells with fixed-zero), but afterwards a cell with fixed-zero is tagged (which is only allowed in Registry 4), this generates a validation message for the selected cell as the one below:

Note: To correctly change the registry on an existing document for all instances where the registry is set, there is a toolbox feature (Document → Toolbox) to do this:

Notification if Special Character is Removed in Extension Prefix (#1263)

The Company name of the user may include some special characters like ä, å, ø, ü. However, only basic Latin Unicode characters can be used for the Extension prefix in Document settings. The Tagger now informs the user when a special character from the Document Settings Company name will be removed in Extension prefix. The user then has to manually replace the special character that was removed in Extension prefix with a similar Latin character.

Default Settings for Create <table> Tag and Escape Attribute (#1185 & #1234)

Since more and more audit firms in different countries are now requesting users to have tables in the notes section of the final report marked with an XHTML table tag, the feature to "Create <table> tag for tagged tables" in the Document Settings is now set to "true" by default.

Similarly, the Escape-Attribute for text blocks in the text block properties is now set to "true" by default. The Escape Attribute controls whether the HTML tag should be included in the XBRL instance document or not.

Report Generation

All Excel Reports Added to Report Folder (#1229)

Users want to make sure that everything is filed correctly before submitting their reports to the auditors in order to minimize the potential feedback they receive from them. To facilitate this task, in addition to the Validation Results, all Excel reports are now added to the reports folder when a new iXBRL Package is generated.

Just open the Reports folder and you will find the Calculation, Mapping and Text block reports:

Audit Report Excel File Included in the Report Generation (#1267)

The Validation results Excel file included in the iXBRL report package now also contains results for General Information, Validation Overview, and the content of the Linkbase Enums and Roles.

Possibility to Expand/Collapse All Nodes After Report Generation (#1196)

To help users get a quick overview of the validation messages after having generated an iXBRL report, it is now possible in the result form to expand or collapse all the nodes via right click menu entry.

Usability

Find Location of Used Tags in the Taxonomy (#933)

With Tagger 1.10, it is possible to easily find the exact location of used tags in the respective taxonomy. Just select a part of your report that has been tagged, either a value in a financial statement of a text block in the notes section.

Then, move to the Tags tab below and click on the tag.

The exact location of the used tag is shown on the taxonomy in the right window of the Tagger.

XBRL File Tree (#1260)

Tagger 1.10 offers the possibility to check the File Tree of any ESEF report directly in the Tagger itself.  Just go to Tools and select XBRL Files Tree.

A new window will open asking you to load a file from your computer:

After selecting a report, the XBRL file tree will be generated within the window:

XBRL Report Comparer (#1230)

There is now an XBRL Report Comparer to view the differences between two versions of your report. Just go to Tools and select XBRL Report Comparer:

A new window will open where you can upload the desired reports for the comparison:

Reorder Chapter Number (# 1124)

It is now possible to re-order chapter numbers in Presentation Linkbase of Extension Taxonomy.  Just go to Document --> Presentation Roles Order and adjust your order in the new window.

Select the chapter and drag it to the new position, then click on Save.
