Configuring a High Volume XBRL Taxonomy

You configure a high volume XBRL taxonomy by registering it and loading it in your Taxonomy Manager.

Before You Begin

Before you begin configuring your high volume XBRL taxonomy, you must download the taxonomy and template from your regulator's repository website. You must also connect to Disclosure Management from Smart View.

To download the taxonomy and template:

  1. Navigate to your regulator's taxonomy repository website. For example, for Colombian taxonomies, navigate to Colombian Taxonomies.

  2. Click the correct taxonomy number (for example, 103 Agricultura) for your filing.

    The regulatory provides the following for each taxonomy:

    • The required entry points (XSD files) for the taxonomy, such as Annual Consolidated, Annual Single, and so on.

    • The taxonomy itself (ZIP file).

    • The taxonomy template (Microsoft Excel file).

  3. Download the taxonomy (ZIP) and template files (Microsoft Excel) to your computer.

Figure 11-1 shows an example of the entry points, taxonomy, and Microsoft Excel template for the 103 Agricultura Colombian taxonomy.
