(DEU) Link a company with an XBRL taxonomy

  • Article

To tag items of data in a report, you must link to an XBRL taxonomy.

Note

To link to an XBRL taxonomy, the company that you are creating a report for must have an XBRL entity associated with it. For more information, see (DEU) Create and maintain XBRL entities.

When you add an XBRL taxonomy row link and add XBRL labels to the row link, Management Reporter automatically assigns a label for each amount row based on the row description. If a row description does not match an XBRL label, the XBRL Label Selection dialog box is displayed.

If the XBRL Label Selection dialog box is displayed, select an XBRL label to attach to the row in the Possible matches for area. You can browse the possible matches for the label or browse the complete taxonomy in the hierarchal pane. You can also click Find to search by keyword.

This topic contains the following procedures:
