About Footnotes

Many business reports regularly include explanatory textual details about business data within the report; these are known as footnotes. Footnotes can be associated with a data point in a financial statement that is mapped to a numerical taxonomy concept. For example, a footnote is associated with $1000, which is mapped to the numerical taxonomy concept "Marketing and Distribution," which has a data type of xbrli:monetaryItemType.

   See Table 7-4.

7. In Language, select a language from the drop-down menu.

8. Enter the footnote text in the text entry field.

   For example, you might enter the text below for Revenue Recognition:

   We derive revenues from the following sources: (1) software, which includes new software license and software license updates and product support revenues, and (2) services, which include consulting, On Demand, and education revenues. New software license revenues represent fees earned from granting customers licenses to use our database, middleware, and applications software and exclude revenues derived from software license updates, which are included in software license updates and product support revenues. While the basis for software license revenue recognition is substantially governed by the provisions of Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, we exercise judgment and use estimates in connection with the determination of the amount of software and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period.
