Displaying the Instance Document in the Instance Viewer

Disclosure Management provides several display options for the instance document XBRL including:

  • Displaying the XBRL in human-readable format from a generic viewer. In this case, Disclosure Management applies a style sheet to the XBRL output.

  • Displaying the raw XBRL from a generic or Arelle viewer

  • Displaying the XBRL in human-readable format from your default browser

To display an instance document in a generic viewer:

  1. On the Disclosure Management ribbon, select Preview.

  2. Perform an action:

    • For a non-US GAAP instance document, select Open, and then Open Report.

    • For a US GAAP instance document, select Open, and then Open US GAAP Report

    Note:

    When Disclosure Management cannot auto-detect the taxonomy, it prompts the user to provide the taxonomy path or URL.

  3. Navigate to the folder with the instance document, and then click OK.

    Optional: To select a Disclosure Management report located in another folder, select Open, then Open Report Folder, then navigate to the folder in which the report resides, then select the report, and then click OK.

  4. Optional: To view the raw XBRL content of the report, select View, and then XBRL.
