How to: Set Up XBRL Lines
After you import or update the taxonomy, the lines of the schemas must be supplied with all the information that is required. This information will include basic company information, the actual financial statements, notes to the financial statements, supplemental schedules, and other information that is required to satisfy the particular financial reporting requirements.
You set up the XBRL Lines by mapping the data in the taxonomy to the data in your general ledger.

In the XBRL Taxonomies window, select a taxonomy from the list.
