The Data Repository has an excel based user interface.
It can contain any number of excel sheets containing
the financial data needed for reporting

The user interface provides access to the specific
functions for data repository management

Functions such as compare provide a means to evaluate
changes that have occurred with a refresh from a data source
Users move through a process based on a configurable
workflow. Select “Start, Finish, Complete…etc”, will send
notification to next role in the work flow – “Approve,
Reject etc”

Users can use the DM interface to also create,
and management all reports (10K, 10Q, 20F
etc.)
As with the data repository Excel interface, the Reports
interface is Word with DM functions
Users can
compare
version
information
Within Word the user responsible
for managing a chapter or report
can load data from the data
repository. Financial data can be
loaded as tables, ranges or specific
cells. …as well as be formated
A cockpit view provides managers
and users with a snapshot of all
chapter or report status information
Based on roles and permission some users will
have review, approve and reject steps
All actions, times, and
users, are logged and
tracked
When complete a report is finalized with
appropriate formatting and pagination – based
on user defined configuration
The same Excel interface is used to load appropriate XBRL
taxonomies and tagging
Users tag financial data with a drag
and drop XBRL tagging interface
After tagging color coding provides a
means to see what has been tagged
Users can run validation reports to
check for errors
Users can check
XBRL instance
through a SEC
