Generate HD Inline XBRL for 8-K Forms

The High Definition Reporting feature allows you to combine high-quality, presentation-style reports with XBRL data.

Typically, inline documents are created to be re-flowable based on the size of the region of screen that is used to display the document. This method results in an inline document that looks similar but not the same as the underlying Word document. Generating high definition (HD) inline XBRL creates inline content that looks exactly like what would have been printed from MS Word, with formats, fonts and layouts replicated perfectly.

To generate HD inline XBRL:

1. Open the project in which you have HD reporting enabled for an 8-K form under SEC jurisdiction and complete your work.
2. Click the Home tab, then click Generate Inline XBRL.

   

3. The Generate Inline XBRL High Definition window opens.

   

4. In the Options section, select Alternate Row Coloring or Generate Instance Document, as required.
5. In the Refresh section, select an option to refresh the data in the report that is associated with the project.
6. Select one or more of the available validation options.
7. Click OK to start the generation. You can view the progress in the All processes completed window in the status bar. While processes are running, the title bar shows the number of running processes. When the processes are finished, the title is All processes completed.
8. To open the file, open the All processes completed window, and click the Open icon. A check mark indicates that a process generated properly. An exclamation point indicates an error that stopped the process.

   

9. The generated output files are displayed.
