Update 2.7.5.

New update to version 2.7.5 available

New features:

  • Updates in the taxonomy catalog and catalog features.
  • Updates in the mapping tools.
  • New Edgar Filer Manual validation component for reporting to the US SEC. 100% compliant with the EFM conformance suite.

General changes:

  • This new relase in the dimensional view of an instance dimensions not directly related with the selected primary item are not represented. In previous versions too many dimensions may cause an number of non reportable combinations to appear on the tables and more difficult representation of a table if the user does not know exactly how the table shall be represented. Now it is more intuitive.

Update to version 2.7.4.

New release available 2.7.4

New features:

  • The XBRL report generation based on templates has been empowered with the following features: Creation of report sections; a report section is a variable part of a report that exist on the template and may or may not exist on the instance depending on a value evaluated dynamically. This allows for the mapping of notes to financial reports in the IFRS taxonomy that may or may not exist in the source excel file and the generation of the instance document will or will not contain that section, including the section files in the DTS. Creation of duplicate concept mappings; now, the same concept, for the same context can be mapped to multiple cells and documented as a duplicate dynamic set. The duplicate dynamic set is evaluated at mapping time and only the non duplicate elements are converted into facts in the XBRL report. Mapping of context sections like the scheme and identifier is not possible.
  • New taxonomies added to the taxonomy catalog. The new versions of the most commonly used taxonomies has been added to the taxonomy catalog. The taxonomy catalog now allows for more metadata specified in the ZIP file such as the official starting URL of the taxonomy files that previously was indicated in the XML configuration file.
  • Translation of the tool dialogs to Spanish. Now English and Spanish languages are available. The language selection is automatic depending on the selection in the windows control panel.

General changes:

  • The FORM view has been updated to include the capability to add columns dynamically based on typed dimensions and select values from explicit dimensions.

This allows users to select validation processors parameters for a big number of characteristics (not all of them are available form the GUI. Only those whose values can be represented as text).
  • DTSBuilder during the recognition of the lookup table when it is used during the DIMLINK instruction, the table of dimensions is now reported and warnings about non existing dimensions has been removed.
  • DTSBuilder new VALIDATE instruction in order to allow for XBRL validation (XBRL 2.1, Dimensions and Formula) of the produced files.
