Use the XBRL Unit Manager to create reusable definitions of simple and compound unit of measures that can be assigned to grids, columns, and cells in any financial report and by any Reporting Studio user.
To define an XBRL Unit:
Select Simple Unit of Measure or Compound Unit of Measure, then based on your selection, do one of the following items:
Simple Unit of Measure—To indicate monetary values, select Monetary, then select a currency. To indicate non-monetary values, select Non-Monetary, then enter a descriptive label for the unit, (shares, dividends, etc.).
Compound Unit of Measure—Select an operator (Multiply or Divide), then select the two units required to describe the value. In the above example, earnings in shillings per share is defined.
