Manage Typed Dimensions of a Project

A typed dimension is a dimension in XBRL that is composed of a variable set of members that must conform to a specific type that is defined by using XML schema. You can work with both simple or complex typed dimensions. A simple typed dimension is a typed dimension where the specific XML schema type involved has simple content. A complex typed dimension is a typed dimension where the specific XML schema type involved has complex content. If your project uses a taxonomy that supports typed dimensions, you can use CDM XBRL to customize members of typed dimensions.

To manage typed dimensions of a project:

1. Click the Home tab, then in the Navigation Pane, click Administration.
2. Under XBRL, double-click XBRL Projects.
3. In the project list in the work area, right-click on the project you want to edit and select Manage Typed Dimensions.
4. In the Manage Typed Dimensions window, select a dimension from the list. You can use the search field to reduce the list of dimensions.
5. Click Add in the Manage Values for Selected Dimension pane.
6. In the Add Value window, specify a name and value for the dimension member. All typed dimension values must validate against the taxonomy schema.

   

7. Click OK.
8. Complete one or more of the following in the Manage Values for Selected Dimension pane.
   • Select a member to review its associated value.
   • Select a member and click Edit to modify its name or value.
   • Select a member and click Delete to delete the member from the dimension.
9. Click Close when you've completed your changes.

Typed dimension values are displayed in the Pivot Grid as a user dimension.
