Q: How do I control the e-mail notification settings?

A: Already have enough e-mail in your life? Fine. You can control the manner in which you are notified of comments and issues within the system. For each group of which you are a member, you can choose:

•  not to be notified by e-mail
•  to be notified of all changes in one e-mail each day; or
•  to be notified of every change immediately in a separate e-mail.
  

To make those changes, click on "My Preferences" and then "Groups". If you want to be notified of all changes, but don't want to see all of the separate e-mails in your in-box, why not set up an e-mail filter that automatically shifts all TRAX messages into a special folder? All the major e-mail clients support this feature.

Q: How do I find a specific concept?

A: You can browse for a specific concept via the tree menus on the left hand side. Alternatively, there is a powerful search engine built into TRAX. By typing the name of the concept (either the label or the XML concept name - these usually have no spaces between the words) into the search bar, you will get a list of XBRL elements that match your search.

Q: What does the "A", "I" and "T" mean inside the node icons in the left hand menu?

A: These stand for "Abstract", "Item" and "Tuple" respectively - they are classifications associated with individual concepts. Abstract concepts are not used for reporting -- they just help structure the taxonomy into manageable parts. Items are concepts that define typical reporting facts (sometimes called measures) - these are individual concepts about performance. "Tuples" are special kinds of concepts that group a set of items that need to be reported together - eg: "Directors Attendance at Meetings" might group three facts:"Director Name","Number of meetings eligible to attend","Number attended".

Q: Can I see the changes that were made between versions of  a taxonomy?

A: Not Yet! This feature will be available in the near future.

Q: How do I suggest the addition of a new concept under an existing one?

A: In the near future there will be a dedicated mechanism for this, but for the moment, we suggest that you create a comment on the element that would be the PARENT concept to the new concept, include [NEW CONCEPT NEEDED] in the title of the comment, and in the body of the comment, make your suggestion.

Q: How do I get more help?

A: When you register for TRAX, you should be told how to contact your moderator. All questions about the taxonomy and the review in progress should be directed to your moderator. If you have questions about the operation of TRAX itself, please contact us.

Q: I have seen PageSeeder mentioned. What is PageSeeder?
