Dragon View™

The Standard View & Review Tool for XBRL


Dragon View Features & Benefits

Use Dragon View to simplify the review of your XBRL Instance Documents prior to submission to the SEC. Dragon View allows business professionals to easily review any XBRL file regardless of how it was created. Dragon View is designed to help you review XBRL taxonomies and instance documents in an easy to use, friendly format.

Dragon View includes the "review" and "benchmark against other filers" features as well as the added ability to produce reports in HTML or Excel format. (A detailed list of features and benefits is listed below.)


Control the presentation
Feature Benefit
Generate an HTML Reporting Book One aspect of the SEC XBRL ruling that requires special care and attention is the publication of your interactive data on your company's public facing web site.

With Dragon View, you can easily satisfy this requirement by exporting the HTML reports to a "reporting book" that can be posted on your company website.
Generate an Excel Reporting Book The power of "interactive data" is that you can take the data and create additional useful supporting materials.

With Dragon View, you can create charts and key ratios directly in the exported Excel Reporting Book and distribute the reporting book for internal or external communication.
Look at the available information in your own way For example, you may want to focus only on extended elements. With Dragon View, you can "filter" the data and export just the extended elements to the Excel based reporting book.
Select how much detail to include in a report There are 10 or more columns of data that not all users care to see. You can now easily hide these columns (making the markup review easier) and export only the data of interest to the Excel reporting book.




Review
Feature Benefit
One-click to view the most recent SEC filings We provide the link so you do not need to search for the SEC file you need. You can open filed instance documents and company extension taxonomies.
Tabbed interface to view data as it will be presented using the IDEA SEC viewer It is easy to switch between the report preview and the markup review and also see the details for each line of the report preview or review the markups for each element.
Review extended elements using filtering and sorting In the past, you may have wanted to sort on a column to prioritize your work. You can now click on the SEC % column (percentage of all filers who used a particular element) - which shows how many other companies used this tag - and instantly see which tags have the highest or lowest percentage of use.

Or you could focus your review efforts on the outliers by filtering the report and just reviewing the extended elements used within the filing.
Review element name and definition Review the element name and definition to ensure that the selected element is the best match for the row of your printed financials.
Quick and easy display of information with robust viewing options View the data as you would in the IDEA SEC viewer, review markup reports to see details about reporting element.
Use Dragon View to review files before they are sent to the SEC Verify the formatting of the report as it will appear in the IDEA SEC viewer, including headers and underscores.
Provide multiple drill paths to get a clear picture of the filing Depending upon what information you want, you can now click on an element to see additional details. You can select the markup review to review the SEC% and SIC% (percentage of filers in a particular industry using an element) for that element or select the data grids to view calculation hierarchy information.
Drill into taxonomy supporting information View and search for elements using the taxonomy viewer.
Global Standards Viewing Supports IFRS, US-GAAP, and other global XBRL taxonomies and instance documents for viewing and benchmarking.
Risk/Return Summary Taxonomy Support Allows you to view elements and supporting information within a Mutual Fund Risk/Return Summary Taxonomy.
Risk/Return Summary Rendering Support Allows you to view instance documents in HTML format as specified by the SEC that are created using Mutual Fund Risk/Return Summary Taxonomy.

Benchmark against other Filers
Feature Benefit
View % of all SEC filers or SIC filers who have used this same element in their XBRL filing Out of the 10,000+ line items available from the US GAAP taxonomy, how do you know that your company has picked the right ones?

You might have concerns about the tagging elements you are choosing. You want to know if other companies who have filed are using the same reporting element. When tagging an element, users can see the percentage of other SEC filers - or more specifically, filers with the same SIC code - that have also used this element. This gives you and your auditor additional comfort knowing that the element you chose is the correct element for this line item.
Benchmark a filing against peer groups You can now compare your element selection against peer companies in your industry and "sort" by the percentage of its use.
