When working with large tables containing numerous elements, tagging can become time-consuming. The Roll Forward feature streamlines this process by transferring tags from a previous table to the current one. Follow the steps below to roll forward tabular content:
1. To begin, select the required entity and document, then click on the "Roll Forward" icon in the document process screen.
2. Next, select "Choose the required workspace" option. Then choose the previous workspace from the list and click "Submit" and you will be directed to the "Roll Forward Period Conversion" screen.
3. In the "Previous Period" section, review and check the periods that need conversion. From the dropdown menu, choose the relevant period type (3ME, 6ME, 9ME, FYE, or Custom).
4. Set the required period by selecting from the current period list. Click "Convert and Proceed" to initiate the process. Alternatively, you can select "Skip" to continue without converting periods.
5. Upon selecting "Skip" or "Convert & Proceed," the roll-forward matching screen will appear, presenting a side-by-side comparison with the previous document's content displayed on the left and the current one on the right.
6. Begin by selecting the required section in the previous and current workspace for table matching.
7. Click on the “Table Tag” icon at the right
top of your screen. This action initiates the table-matching process.
8. After initiating the roll-forward matching process, You will
get a screen called “Match Table” where you can see the previous document's table at the
left and the current document's table at the right.
9. The exact matches will be prominently displayed in a dark
green check box. Partial matches will appear in a light green shade.
Unmatched values will be shown in white, ensuring clarity in the
matching results.
10. Click the "Refresh" icon to reset matching preferences,
allowing you to start the matching process afresh if needed.
Manual Matching:
1. Please carefully inspect the "RID" column, where
you can identify the row numbers (R1, R2, R3, ...). Compare the Row ID in both
tables with the assigned elements. If there is a mismatch, manual matching is
required.
2. To manually match specific rows, select the desired row from
the previous table and its equivalent matching row in the current table. Click the "Manual
Match" icon to complete the matching process with precision.
3. If a match needs to be undone, select the desired row from
the current table and click the "Remove Match" icon to dissociate the linked
rows.
Transfer Tags:
After ensuring the accuracy of the matching, execute the
transfer of tags from the previous table to the current table by clicking the "Transfer
Tags" icon. This step ensures that relevant tags are seamlessly migrated
between corresponding rows.
Add New Period:
Click on "Add
Period." This action facilitates the inclusion of a desired time frame
for the tagged values.
Visual Confirmation:
After successful tag transfer, the color of the transferred
tags changes to Orange, providing a visual confirmation of the completed
transfer process.
Apply Period:
Select the desired row/column and choose the appropriate
period from the dropdown menu. Click "Apply" to associate the
chosen period with the values, ensuring accurate temporal representation.
Save Changes:
Once all adjustments are made, click the "Save Tag"
button to preserve the changes and update the document with the newly matched
and transferred content.
This comprehensive roll-forward matching process empowers you to meticulously manage and align data between previous and current
tables, contributing to the accuracy and reliability of the reporting process.
