EDGARsuite™ offers full-featured XBRL filing capability

EDGARsuite™ provides start-to-finish XBRL capability with its comprehensive and powerful, yet easy-to-use tool, EDGARxbrl™. Developed specially for SEC filings (corporate financials, mutual fund Risk/Return filings, and others), it creates complete XBRL filings with no knowledge of XML required.

Runs entirely on your computer

• Your data is not sent to third-party servers, providing maximum control and security
• Local processing means fastest preparation of your filing.
• No connectivity issues to deal with - specially important when working against tight deadlines

Easy to Get Started

EDGARxbrl™ eases you through the XBRL process with an easy-to-follow step-by-step approach:

1. Watch the video demonstration showing an XBRL filing being created, start to finish, with EDGARxbrl™.

2. Download EDGARsuite™ for free trial and go through the QuickStart tutorial where you actually create an XBRL filing using sample files.

3. It is then a simple matter to proceed similarly with your own documents and filings.

Ready-made Templates for small- and medium-sized companies, yet full-featured for large and complex filings

For small companies with relatively straightforward financials, EDGARxbrl™ provides simple pre-tagged fill-in templates:

• The simplest possible procedure for small-company filings - simply fill in the numbers and reporting periods

• No tagging required - templates are already tagged and mapped, eliminating problems caused by tagging errors

• Line item labels can be changed to match your financials, and roles such as "total" or "negated" can be easily specified

• Extension concepts, if needed, can be entered into the templates, and are created and managed automatically

• Templates included for Balance Sheets, Income Statement, Equity Statement, Partners' Capital, and Cash Flows

• Includes templates for Parenthetical tables

• Templates can be easily edited and customized

• Unlike templates and "wizards" used by other products, EDGARxbrl™ templates are Excel sheets - easy to understand and work with

Make templates from prior filings, then subsequent filings are a breeze and can easily be done in-house

• Create pre-tagged templates specific to your company's financials simply by opening your prior quarter's filing on EDGAR

• Works even if your prior filing was produced by a different product or preparer

• Subsequent filings are then largely a matter of filling in the fields in these templates, which can easily be done in-house

• Since the templates are pre-tagged, prior tagging is automatically incorporated into new filings and no retagging is required

• The pre-tagged templates accommodate changes to line items or concepts if there are any

Easy and Flexible Mapping/Tagging

• Effective and easy mapping of financials to XBRL tags - the most intuitive in the industry

• Map/tag financials in Excel sheets, Word tables, WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, Works, web pages and many other sources

• Unique Auto Map feature uses smart keyword matching and advanced logic to tag many line items automatically

• Built-in logic to pre-filter and suggest the most likely taxonomy tag while mapping

• Mapping is automatically reused in subsequent filings, even with different data and line item sequencing

• Ability to use mapping created by other sources

• Recreates mapping from an existing SEC filing (even if created by a different program), which you can use as a starting point

Full Built-in Support for Extension Taxonomies

• Automatically creates extension taxonomies, including all linkbases

• Creates extension concepts of any type, including dimensional extensions

• Supports documentation of extension concepts (concept definitions in the SEC Viewer)

Text Block Notes are a breeze

• No need to EDGARize text prior to including - simply drag and drop text blocks from anywhere

• Preserves layout and formatting of text blocks, while automatically adjusting them for EDGAR validation

• Ability to edit and work with formatted text blocks within EDGARxbrl™ using word processor-like controls

• Text blocks can be tagged within Word, and no retagging is required if a tagged document is edited or revised

• Text block tagging carries through to subsequent filings

Easy Detailed Tagging

• Supports all levels of detailed tagging (1 to 4)

• Create custom concepts or contexts on the fly as you are tagging

• No retagging required if the tagged source documents are edited or revised

• Detailed tagging at all levels (1 through 4) carries through to subsequent filings

• Simultaneous independent tagging by multiple users is easily merged into one filing (collaborative tagging)

• The fastest and easiest-to-use detailed tagging interface in the industry

Most functions are automatic

• Automatically creates contexts by parsing financials, even those with dimensions and segments

• Recognizes reporting scenarios (e.g., Unaudited) and automatically creates the required dimensional elements and contexts

• Automatically identifies and associates duration vs. instant contexts based on line item mapping

• Automatic assignment of units and precision when mapping and capturing financial tables

• Automatically extracts and creates line item footnotes from your financial tables

• Automatic creation of presentation and other linkbases, based on the layout of the financial tables and notes

• Automatic creation of calculation relationships, based on the standard taxonomy or by examining your financials

• Automatic assembly of all files to create the submission package

Smooth, Single-Pass Workflow

• Easy one-pass workflow creates elements, contexts, linkbases, extensions and other structures smoothly as you work

• No need to switch in and out of different program modules for different functions

• Tag financials and capture data in one operation with its unique "Map & Capture" workflow, resulting in huge time savings

• Automatic capture of line item footnotes, with automatic building of all required linkages

Update/Edit your filing easily

• If financials are updated, only altered tags need remapping

• Smart replacement of old data when altered financials are recaptured

• Edit numeric as well as formatted text block data right within EDGARxbrl™

• Edit labels, roles, definitions, calculations and other structures, with easy-to-use dialog fields and controls

• Sort statements and disclosures easily, using simple drag-and-move

Instant Proofs and Reports with lots of options

• Create a proof for review instantly at any time, even if filing is incomplete

• Highly interactive proof lets you easily examine underlying details, correct errors, etc.

• Powerful report generator creates summary or detailed reports, with options you can tailor to your needs
• Options to create reports for different purposes (mapping report, concept usage report, contexts report, etc.)
• Creates and stores report profiles, letting you easily switch between different report formats (e.g., summary vs. detailed reports)

Peace-of-Mind Validation

• Extensive validation capability to check filings prior to submission, including calculation validation and validation against schema
• SEC-specific validation (over and above XBRL validation) is built-in
