Abstract
Systems and methods for creating an extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) instance document are provided. In one embodiment, a business document production application displays a portion of a business document containing business data that is intended to be tagged; and concurrently a tagging application manager integrated with the business document production application displays a portion of an XBRL taxonomy. Responsive to a user input event corresponding to a selection of an XBRL attribute and corresponding to a request to map the selected XBRL attribute to a selected cell or range of displayed business data, (i) XBRL markup information is created by forming an association between the selected XBRL attribute and the selected business data; and (ii) the business data is signified as having XBRL markup data by providing an associated visual indication. Then, an XBRL instance document is generated based on the XBRL markup information and the business data.
