Export documents to XBRL

You can export the tagged data from a CaseView document and its sub-documents to an XBRL instance document (.xml) or Inline XBRL document (.html, .htm, .xhtml) for use in a variety of other software packages, or a typical web browser.

To export to an XBRL instance document:

  1. On the ribbon, click File | Export | XBRL File.
  2. In the Export XBRL Document dialog, select the taxonomy to use, the location on your workstation to save the document, and any other applicable options.

    Option Description
    Export skipped items Select to include items that are set to be skipped in the export. By default, these items are excluded.
    Export numeric items with zero balances Select to include numeric items with zero balances in the export. By default, these numeric items are excluded.
    Export non-numeric items with blank values Select to include numeric items with blank values in the export. By default, these numeric items are excluded.
    Allow export of multiple items with the same tag Select to include multiple items with the same XBRL tag in the export. By default, these items are excluded.

The document is exported to an XBRL instance document. To import an instance document into Working Papers, see Import XBRL instance documents.

Export to Inline XBRL

You can also export CaseView documents to an HTML format with Inline XBRL. For most users, Inline XBRL documents behave similar to a traditional HTML document and are compatible with all popular web-browsers. However, there are pre-established XBRL tags embedded within the document which can be read by other software packages which are Inline XBRL compatible.

To export to an Inline XBRL document:

  1. On the ribbon, click File | Export | Inline XBRL File.
  2. In the Save As dialog, enter a file name and select the location on your workstation to save the document. Click Save.
  3. In the Export Inline XBRL Document dialog, select the taxonomy to use, and any other applicable options.
