Downloading XBRL taxonomies to the XBRL directory

You can choose from numerous taxonomies to download. The official XBRL site (http://www.xbrl.org) can provide assistance with your selections.

Note:

An XBRL taxonomy can consist of one or more files. All related files must be downloaded.

  To download the XBRL taxonomies:

  1. Right-click the taxonomy, then click Save Target As or Open.

  2. Copy the files to the xbrlfiles directory on the Financial Reporting server; for example, C:...\financialreporting\common\xbrlfiles.

    Note:

    You must have write privileges to the HR Server computer.

    Tip:

    You can create a separate user-defined folder in the xbrlfiles directory for each taxonomy you download.

  3. Unzip the ZIP file within the xbrlfiles directory. Be sure to retain any relative directory structure that is present in the zip file to retain any relative references that might be present in the files constituting the taxonomy.

  4. You are now ready to update the XBRL schema registration. Continue to the next topic, Managing the XBRL Schema, for instructions.
