Configuring Document Entity Information

The Document Entity Information (DEI) interface enables you to define the variables for a Taxonomy Template. The DEI defines the required parameters for proper instance generation, such as Entity ID, Schema reference, taxonomy namespace, list of contexts, and units are used in the tagging process.

To add variables information in the DEI worksheet, perform these steps:

  1. In High Volume XBRL ribbon, select DEI image.

    The Document Entity Information dialog box is displayed.


    Screenshot shows the document entity information dialog box
  2. Refresh list of available taxonomies, and then in the Taxonomy drop-down, select a required taxonomy namespace.

  3. In Scheme, enter the scheme details that is needed for context definitions.

  4. In Entity, enter a unique identification for the entity, company, or institution.

  5. Select the required Contexts and Units information from the table below, and then click OK.

One context and several units are created by default. While tagging range of cells, out of the all contexts, the default context is displayed on the top of the drop-down list. Similarly, out of all the units, the default unit is displayed on the top of the drop-down list.

To add new context variable properties, perform these steps:

  1. Click New button to add new contexts variable information.

    The Context dialog box is displayed.


    Contexts dialog box is displayed.
  2. In Name, enter the name or label of the context.

    Note:

    The same context names can be used in the next quarter filing. For example, for the I_currentQuarter, and D_currentYear variable, you can change only the date, and use the same name.

  3. In Type drop-down, select the required context type.

  4. In From, select the start date of reporting period.

  5. In To, select the end date of the reporting period.

  6. Click OK.

Note:

To delete a context variable, select the property, and then click The image shows the Delete button. In the worksheet, the existing tags that are referencing to the deleted context are not valid. You need to re-tag the cell to a valid context.

Field Descriptions
*Name Specify the name or label of the context. This name is not persisted to instance documents. For example, I_currentQuarter or D_CurrentYear.
*Type Specify the time period in which the fact is relevant. Valid options are:
  • Instant—Specific date. For example: Friday, January 01, 2017)

  • Duration—A period of time starts with the quarter or year start and ends with the quarter or year end. For example, from Friday, January 01, 2017 to Saturday, December 31, 2017.

  2. In Name, enter the name of the unit

  3. In Measure, enter a unit type.

  4. Optional: Select Divide by, and then specify the denominator in Denominator.

  5. In Decimals, enter a decimal value.

  6. In Scaling, enter a scaling value.

  7. Click OK.

Note:

To delete a unit variable, select the property, and then click The image shows the Delete button. In the worksheet, the existing tags that are referencing to the deleted unit variable are not valid. You need to re-tag the cell to a valid unit variable.

Table 11-2 Unit Pane Fields and Descriptions

Field Description
*Name Enter a label for the unit. For example, enter USD for U.S. dollars or EUR for Euros. This value is not persisted to instance documents.
*Measure Enter the unit in which numeric items have been measured; for example, dollars, shares, Euros, or dollars per share.
  • Currency values must have currency unit types recognized by the International Standards Organization standard ISO 4217. See: http://www.iso.org/iso/home.html that were valid at the time the measurement occurred.

    For example, iso4217:USD for monetary items in US dollars , or iso4217:cop for Colombian pesos.

  • Shares values must have a unit measure of "shares."

  • Rates, percentages, and ratios, not with values multiplied by one number and which are shown using a pure or percentage data type must have a unit measure of "pure."

Divide by Optional: Enables the division of measured values using the measure shown in the Denominator field.
Denominator Optional: Select the measure that functions as the divisor of the measure shown in the Measure field. For example, if ISO 4217: USD is in the Measure field, you could select "shares."
Decimal Optional: Enter the number of decimal places to which the given value is accurate.

Note:

If the value is not mentioned, then by default the values are overridden from DEI worksheet.

Scaling Optional: Specify a number, whereby units of values are multiplied by a scale factor to determine the correct value.

Note:

If the value is not mentioned, then by default the values are overridden from DEI worksheet.
