Removing XBRL Maps

XBRL map removals of taxonomy concepts, contexts, units, and footnotes can be applied to:

When you remove a mapped item, the Remove Mappings dialog box listing mapped items that can be removed, is launched. The number of items listed depends on the XBRL object selected in the Disclosure Management Mapping Tool. For example, when a unit object is selected, the dialog box enumerates the document data points that are mapped to the unit object. After a mapping is removed, it cannot be undone, and you must remap the data to the XBRL object to recreate the map. For taxonomy concepts, the mapping information is removed from the Mapping Repository and does not appear in the in Review mode. If the mapped concept has associated XBRL dimensions (document and/or data source level associations), they are also removed from the Mapping Repository.

Removing a data source mapping is different from removing an Office document mapping. When you work with a Smart View Office document or a Financial Reporting report, you can create data source XBRL maps with taxonomy concepts. In the Mapping Repository, these maps are associated with the data source rather than the Office document. Data source maps are automatically associated with the corresponding data in the Office document.

Options for data source mapping removal are:
