# ReportFactory Tagging Tool Version 2.0 User Manual : Introduction

Created by User manual, last modified on Oct 04, 2020

The ReportFactory© Tagging tool allows for the tagging of electronic financial reports in Inline XBRL (iXBRL) format.

The bolt-on software provides functionality to extend existing report creation processes for paper and online reports towards digital reports. These digital reports can be analyzed by software in an automated way, but they still provide a professional human-readable layout.

The ReportFactory© Tagging tool meets the requirements of ESMA according to the ESEF (European Single Electronic Format). For this purpose, it provides all required features like import of layout formats, tagging, anchoring, taxonomy extensions as well as validation and consistency checks.

# Top features

- Your reporting process can remain unchanged. You can create tags and publish the tagged report together with its related print/PDF report in parallel.
- Tagging is done intuitively via drag and drop. All of the tag's properties are prominent and visible. Properties can be modified for any number of selected tags at once.
- Individual positions are required for almost every company report. Extensions to the IFRS taxonomy can be made easily, without requiring technical knowledge or skill.
- Due to the instant validation that occurs during tagging, errors are reported immediately preventing any follow-up issues. Naturally, all validations are done in an ESEF-compliant way.
- All included tags are automatically rolled-forward in subsequent yearly reports - only modified position names and new positions need to be (re)tagged.
- Input formats such as PDF and XHTML are converted into iXBRL while preserving its layout and style. Any referenced media files (e.g. images) are embedded automatically.
- During the tagging process, in order to increase efficiency and avoid mistakes, our AI will provide you with smart proposals that can be accepted as is or adjusted manually.
- Anchoring of individual positions according to ESEF requirements is accomplished via mapping to positions from the IFRS taxonomy.
- A report package is created for filing submission. All filing constituents (including taxonomy extension and related media) are assembled in a single package.
