Merge Documents

From Tagger Version 1.5, it is possible to merge multiple documents of the iXBRL format into one single document, for example in the following scenarios:

• When multiple users work on subsets of the original document;

• When only the PFS are tagged in a separate document and the remaining document is just attached;

• When several source documents have to be used, even if they have different filetypes.

With this feature it is possible to perform the following:

• Merge documents from different source file types;

• Preserve the styles of the original documents, even if they differ significantly;

• Merge the taxonomies, e.g. if different documents only have subsets of the target taxonomy extension.

To merge documents, please perform the following steps:

1. Create iXBRL of all files that should be merged:

5. Click on Merge and Validate XBRL. The resultant document could look, for example, like the following:
