Double/Multiple Tagging - Layers Manager

Double/Multiple Tagging for PDF Documents

In some reports some content has to be tagged more than once. This can be two tags for the same table cell, two tags for the same text or a text block around a table that is already tagged. In toolsxbrl, this can be achieved by adding tagging layers to PDF documents. Each layer can then be tagged independently. When creating a result document, all the tags will be merged according to the iXBRL specifications.

To get started, first load your document as usual and then add a new layer via the layers manager:

While one additional layer is enough for most reports, it is possible to add more than that. After clicking on apply you can select the new layer in the Layers dropdown, with "[..]" being your default layer:

Once you switch the layer, you will see that all current tags have been hidden in the other layer and you can tag on a blank page.

If you want to tag the same table cell twice, just tag the table again and then the desired cell (you don't have to tag the whole table again in Layer 2)

If you want to create an additional textblock tag around the table, just select the table and tag the textblock

If you want to tag the same text twice, just select and tag it in both layers

When you now create a result document and select the double tagged cell in the preview, the viewer will show two tags and the tags are properly nested in the document, as shown in the images below.

	Switch layer for text block tags, from firesys-Version 23.3.2
	It is now possible to move text block tags and their continuations from one layer to another available layer. If you have tagged a disclosure on the default layer and now want to move it to another layer where the same section has not been tagged yet, simply right click on it and select which available layer you want to move it to from the Switch Layer menu.
