Define Equality Check Warnings

Equality check warnings enable values in the new style smart tables to be checked against each other.

All checks can be placed inside a single element and anywhere within the report.

Define equality check warnings in your report as follows:

  1. Click the Edit XBRL button on the Report toolbar.
  2. Insert a new empty element anywhere in the report. Right-click the element and select Go to XML.
  3. Ensure the XML Source tab is selected.
  4. Insert the following:

    5. <warnings><check-equality name="Warning1" primary="Table2.Section1.ValueColumn" ref="Table1.Section1.ValueColumn" opposing-sign="true" /> </warnings>

    The optional opposing sign element enables you to check for the correct sign between credit and debit values.

  5. Click OK.

    6. This command will generate a warning if the values in the defined columns in the two tables are different.
