- XBRL Instance and Taxonomy (and other helpful human-readable information)
You can see the messages provided and the results of the rules here. (Uses the XBRL Cloud Evidence Package which shows how the rules are used.)
Each of 76 small examples has XBRL Formulas based business rules associated with them. Just click on each template and on the page brought up, see the XBRL instance, the XBRL taxonomy and the XBRL Formula based business rules file.
