Features
XBRL Validation for SEC Uses Arelle
CDM XBRL projects now validate XBRL instance documents and Inline XBRL files with Arelle for the SEC jurisdiction.
- Validation will include EDGAR Filer Manual and Calculation Linkbase Checks but will now have a new feature to validate XBRL instance document and Inline XBRL submissions against the XBRL US Center for Data Quality rules (more information can be found here: https://xbrl.us/data-quality/).
- Arelle is a 3rd party open source application that incorporates the SEC EDGAR Renderer and Validation (more information can be found here: https://arelle.org/arelle/pub/).
- Current version in CDM is May 27th, 2020 and version will be updated periodically to synchronize with the SEC EDGAR system.
Inline XBRL for SEC Use High Definition (HD) as Default
CDM XBRL projects will default High Definition (HD) generation for Inline XBRL files with SEC jurisdiction.
- XBRL projects with SEC jurisdiction will now automatically have Enable High Definition checked in project properties.
- Legacy HTML generation can still be available by unchecking Enable High Definition.
- Future CDM versions will phase out legacy HTML generation and HD be the generation engine for Inline XBRL with SEC jurisdiction.

Installation
The CDM client is a 64-bit application. This version can be deployed in the following ways:
Server
- As a stand-alone fresh installation.
- As a stand-alone installation by selecting Use existing databases or Empty databases if you already have CDM database(s) from previous versions and a known encryption key. If you do not remember your encryption key, it can be obtained using the Get Encryption Key utility provided with this release being run on the previous version of CDM prior to uninstalling it. Now you can also use a previously exported key by directly selecting it in the installer instead of typing it down.
- As an upgrade from 20.1.1 or later.
- Customers using XBRL or Inline XBRL must deploy the XBRL Dependencies on the same box with the CDM Server which is provided alongside the CDM installers.
- This build uses XBRL Dependencies version 20.6.2.
Client
- As a stand-alone fresh installation.
- As an update over previous versions of the Certent CDM Client.
- Supports multiple client instances on the same box.
ClickOnce
- As a stand-alone fresh installation.
- As an update over previous versions of the Certent CDM publishing server.
- Due to the change from 32-bit to 64-bit of the Certent CDM Client, previously installed client via ClickOnce will not be automatically upgraded upon start up. The client must be removed and redeployed when upgraded from a version earlier than 20.3.1.
- Remove Certent CDM from Add/Remove Programs.
- Access the publishing server URL.
- Press the Install button.
