### **Item Detail Badges**

These badges appear in the Item Details panel when you select a tag. They tell you the tag's data type, time frame type, and balance type at a glance.

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![Frame 458](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20458.png?width=150&height=23&name=Frame%20458.png) | Tag expects a currency amount | Item Details panel |
| ![Frame 456](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20456.png?width=125&height=23&name=Frame%20456.png) | Tag expects free text | Item Details panel |
| ![Frame 455](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20455.png?width=141&height=23&name=Frame%20455.png) | Tag expects a true/false value | Item Details panel |

| ![Frame 463](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20463.png?width=116&height=23&name=Frame%20463.png) | Tag expects a dimensionless number (ratio, percentage) | Item Details panel |
| ![Frame 457](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20457.png?width=70&height=23&name=Frame%20457.png) | Tag uses a single point in time | Item Details panel |
| ![Frame 459](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20459.png?width=81&height=23&name=Frame%20459.png) | Tag uses a date range (period) | Item Details panel |
| **![Frame 460](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20460.png?width=63&height=23&name=Frame%20460.png)** | Tag has a credit balance type | Item Details panel |

**Tip:** These badges are defined by the taxonomy — you don't set them yourself. They help you verify you're applying the right tag to the right data.

 

### **Tag Type Indicators**

These icons help you distinguish between different types of tags and tagging actions in the add-in.

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |

### **Excel Tagger**

#### **Tagging Progress**

These pie-circle indicators show how much of a table, root, or individual row/column has been tagged. They appear in the tag overview next to table names, root elements, and individual rows and columns.

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![Ellipse 69](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Ellipse%2069.png?width=36&height=36&name=Ellipse%2069.png) | No tags have been inserted |  Tag overview: tables, roots, rows, columns  |
| ![Frame 825](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20825.png?width=36&height=36&name=Frame%20825.png) | Some cells/rows are tagged |  Tag overview: tables, roots, rows, columns  |
| ![Frame 824](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20824.png?width=36&height=36&name=Frame%20824.png) | 50% of all cells/rows are tagged |  Tag overview: tables, roots, rows, columns  |
| ![Frame 823](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20823.png?width=36&height=36&name=Frame%20823.png) | Most cells/rows are tagged |  Tag overview: tables, roots, rows, columns  |

#### **Validation Status (Traffic Lights)**

Traffic light indicators show the validation state of tagged items. They appear in two places: in your Excel spreadsheet cells (when the Status toggle is on) and in the tagger sidebar next to each row and column in the tag overview.

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![Ellipse 70](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Ellipse%2070.png?width=36&height=36&name=Ellipse%2070.png) | Tag is validated and correct | Excel cells (Status toggle), tagger sidebar rows/columns |
| ![Ellipse 71](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Ellipse%2071.png?width=36&height=36&name=Ellipse%2071.png) | Tag has been applied but not yet validated | Excel cells (Status toggle), tagger sidebar rows/columns |
| ![Ellipse 72](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Ellipse%2072.png?width=36&height=36&name=Ellipse%2072.png) | Tag has a validation error | Excel cells (Status toggle), tagger sidebar rows/columns |

When a validation error is found, the tagger sidebar also shows a description of the problem below the row — for example, "Wrong calculation."

**Tip:** Turn on the Status toggle at the top of the tagger sidebar to see traffic lights directly in your spreadsheet cells. The tagger sidebar always shows them in the tag overview regardless of the toggle.

 

#### **Tag Overview Indicators**

The tag overview in the tagger sidebar shows your columns and rows with several indicators. These help you see the state of your tagging at a glance without clicking into each item.

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![Frame 807](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20807.png?width=36&height=38&name=Frame%20807.png) ![Frame 807-1](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20807-1.png?width=36&height=38&name=Frame%20807-1.png) | Maps the item to its Excel cell reference so you know which column or row it refers to | Tag overview: next to column/row names |
| ![Ellipse 71](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Ellipse%2071.png?width=36&height=36&name=Ellipse%2071.png) | A dimension (subtag) has been assigned to this column | Tag overview: next to column names (equity table) |
| ![Ellipse 69](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Ellipse%2069.png?width=36&height=36&name=Ellipse%2069.png) | No dimension assigned to this column | Tag overview: next to column names (equity table) |
| ![Frame 828](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20828.png?width=36&height=36&name=Frame%20828.png) | This row or column is hidden from tagging | Tag overview: next to hidden rows/columns |
| ![Frame 827](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%20827.png?width=36&height=36&name=Frame%20827.png) | Click to show/unhide a hidden row or column | Tag overview: next to hidden rows/columns |

### **Word tagger**

#### **Tag List Icons (Word)**

These icons appear next to tags in the tag list within the Drafts Word add-in, indicating the status of each tag.

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![Status Icon](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Status%20Icon.png?width=46&height=46&name=Status%20Icon.png) | Tag has been applied to content in the document | Word tag list |
| ![Frame 1049](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Frame%201049.png?width=46&height=46&name=Frame%201049.png) | Tag has been ignored — it won't count as missing in the completion counter | Word tag list |

 

#### **Continuation & Duplicate Prompts**

When you apply a tag in Word that has already been used elsewhere in the document, the tagger asks whether it's a continuation or a duplicate.

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![mdi\_arrow-rotate-right](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/mdi_arrow-rotate-right.png?width=36&height=36&name=mdi_arrow-rotate-right.png) | This is a continuation of a previously tagged section — the same disclosure continues in a different part of the document | Pop-up when applying a duplicate tag |
| ![Documentation](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Documentation.png?width=32&height=36&name=Documentation.png) | This is a duplicate — the same information appears in multiple places. Must be resolved before final submission. | Pop-up when applying a duplicate tag |

**Tip:** Duplicates are not allowed in final ESEF reports. If you mark something as a duplicate, you'll need to update or remove it before filing.

---

### Portal

#### **Export Validation**

After exporting your report from the Portal, the validation results are grouped into three categories. These appear in the Portal's validation report.

| **Icon** | **Meaning** | **Where you'll see it** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![circle-x](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/circle-x.png?width=36&height=36&name=circle-x.png) | Critical issues that must be fixed before filing. The report does not comply with ESEF requirements. | Portal validation report |
| ![triangle-alert](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/triangle-alert.png?width=36&height=36&name=triangle-alert.png) | Potential issues that should be reviewed. May or may not need correction. | Portal validation report |
| ![info](https://wrepit.net/hs-fs/hubfs/info.png?width=36&height=36&name=info.png) | Data inconsistencies detected. Review to determine if they are intentional or errors. | Portal validation report |
