Add XBRL footnotes

XBRL footnote requirements

Use XBRL footnotes to tag text at the bottom of face financial pages preceded by distinct superscripts as required by the SEC (see EFM 6.6.40). While you are required to tag XBRL footnotes on the face statements, they are optional within the notes to the financial statements (see SEC Staff Interpretations and FAQs Question F.3).

Tag XBRL footnotes

To tag text below a table as a footnote:

1

Open the document and make sure Show XBRL is on.

Choose an XBRL profile if one is not already applied.

3

Select the footnote text. Do not include the footnote identifier, such as (1).

4

Click Attributes on the XBRL toolbar, then highlight XBRL Footnotes and choose Create.

XBRL footnotes appear in yellow.
