Work with the XBRL Hub

The XBRL Hub is Disclosure Management's built-in interface for applying inline XBRL (iXBRL) tags to report content. It automates the process of XBRL tagging for compliance with XBRL mandates around the world. Via the XBRL Hub, you can easily tag and validate your report against specific taxonomy.

To apply taxonomy tags to a report, you must have created an XBRL project for the report to associate it with a taxonomy on the Disclosure Management website.

Tag a Report

  1. Open the report from the Disclosure Management website.
  2. On the ribbon, select the Lineos DM tab and click XBRL Hub.
  3. Type the email address of your account in the Login window if it prompts and click Login.
  4. The XBRL Hub panel opens, showing the XBRL tab that displays AI-generated tag suggestions with confidence scores for the report's numeric facts and narrative content in the current report section (the section you have your cursor in). You can switch the scope to view tag suggestions for the selected content or the entire document.

  6. Review the list of tag suggestions — each shows the concept name, value, and confidence percentage. You can click a suggestion to locate the value in the report and hover over a suggestion to see the concept details. When you point to and in a suggestion, you can view the dimensions and properties about the element; when you click , you can see more suggestions for the value.
  7. To search for a tag suggestion, type the keyword in the Search box. You can also filter the suggestions such as by status, confidence level, element types, and tag type.

  10. After reviewing individual suggestions, click Apply All Suggestions to bulk-apply the high-confidence tags. Lineos DM then tags your report values according to the filtered list. For example, if only three suggestions are listed based on your selection or the filter you specified, only those three suggestions will be applied. The report will contain other suggestions for the rest of the data.

Element Details

For each tag suggestion, you can click Details to view the related element details. Lineos DM displays the details in several tabs. Switch between the tabs to view the concept, properties, labels, references, calculations, footnotes, roles, and anchoring of the element.
