Having concepts in the outline that aren't in the document

Answered

Are there any issues with having extra concepts, member and axis tags in the outline that aren't in the document.

I don't think it necessarily causes any validation messages, so we are able to file. Are there any other concerns we should be aware of if there are extra tags in the outline compared to the document?

    Hi Shera!

    In chats with our experts, having those concepts would not prevent a filing or trigger a warning, but it would not be best practice. We do have information level validations in Workiva to let the you know if you have concepts that should be removed from outline or applied to your file.

    Let me know if you have any questions for me on the above or need anything else. Thanks as always and happy tagging!

    Thanks Mike, I agree it's not best practice. Just to clarify, when you say information level validations, are these the blue messages that show up when we run a validation report?

    Yes, you are correct. They would show up as the blue messages which will not prevent a filing, of course. More of a heads up.
