Using the Arelle Viewer Offline

Disclosure Management enables you to render and view XBRL reports in the Arelle viewer offline. This functionality is available because the Arelle Viewer program uses a cache to store XBRL resources that are originally fetched from the Internet. After the XBRL resources are in the cache, the Arelle Viewer references the files from the cache to render the instance document.

To use the Arelle Viewer offline, copy the resource files to the same folder as the instance files. If the dependent resource files are available in the same folder as the instance files (that is, the instance XML file, plus its taxonomy extension files), the user is not prompted for the resource files. The Arelle Viewer uses the files from the folder automatically.
