XBRL Instance Template - Setup page

Field or Control

Description

XBRL Instance Template

Enter a name for the report template.

Single Business Unit

Click if the template is for a single business unit. If this check box is not selected, the system assumes that multiple business units exist.

Identifier Scheme URL

Enter the URL for the authority governing the Entity Identifier. For example, the NASDAQ URL is entered when the Entity Identifier Override is the stock symbol for the entity. The information that is provided by the NASDAQ website provides identification for the reports that are appropriate for investors.

Entity Identifier Type

Select either Business Unit or Override. If you select Business Unit, entity information is provided from PeopleSoft tables. If you select Override, you must provide the standard symbol and the URL to the governing body for that entity symbol.

SetID

Enter the SetID for the TimeSpan that you specify.

TimeSpan

Enter the TimeSpan that is appropriate to the closed period for which you are reporting. The as of date that you enter on the report request is used to establish the time frame of the financial statements with the Time Span that you specify here. This means that the as of date on the report request page might not be the as of date on the balance sheet, which will be the end date of the last closed accounting period within the time frame.
