Managing Financial Footnote Libraries

Intro

General Ledger/Financial footnote libraries hold textual content as it relates to a specific complex, language and account period. You can add a financial footnote library to the Arc Suite database and review/edit existing footnote libraries on the “Footnote Libraries - General Ledger” page.

A listing of footnote snippets contained in a given library, with their associated descriptions, can also be exported in various file formats from this page.

Tasks

• Adding a financial footnote library to the database

     1. Click the “Home” button at the top of the application window to return to the landing page.

     2. Select “ArcReporting” from the components list.

        

     3. Click the “Reporting Workspace” tab at lower-left of the screen.

        

     4. Click the “Financials” menu to view available items.

        If the “Account Period”, “Complex” and “Fund” relevant to the data you wish to view are not currently selected, choose them using the either selection button at upper-left of the screen or the selection bar across the top of the window.

        • Using the selection bar

          1. Click the “[Select Date]” text or “»” symbol.

             All open account periods associated with a project, and to which you have access, are displayed.

             

          2. Click the “[Select Complex]” text or “»” symbol.

             Complexes with projects associated with the specified date are displayed.

             

             If only one complex is available based on the specified date, the complex is automatically chosen.

          3. Click the “[Select Group]” text or “»” symbol.

             Groups associated with the specified complex with active projects for the specified date are displayed.

             

             Alternatively, you can specify “All Fund Groups”, which automatically fills in “All Funds” in the step below. Some pages in Arc Suite (e.g., “Fund Holdings”), allow you to view information for more than one fund simultaneously. If a page does not support multiple fund display, then no information displays when “All Fund Groups » All Funds” is specified.

             

             If only one fund group is available based on the specified complex, the group is automatically chosen.

          4. Click the “[Select Fund]” text or “»” symbol.

             Funds associated with the specified group with active projects for the specified date are displayed.

              3. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

                 A new paragraph is added in the text editor pane, with the specified table template name(s) displayed within brackets, in green text.

                 

           You can only insert tables in footnote library text; not in text library text.

        Paragraph

        

        When it is known that an ordered or unordered list will span across more than one text item, the buttons discussed below should not be used to create list items. Instead, the paragraph type drop-down list described below should be used to specify a type (defined in the output processing engine to create the appropriate list style) for each list item involved, in as many text items as include the list in question.

        1. Click the “Unordered List” button to cause the selected text to display as an unordered (bulleted) list.
        2. Click the “Ordered List” button to cause the selected text to display as an ordered (numbered/lettered) list.

        3. To cause the selected text to display as a multi-level (bulleted or numbered/lettered) list, do the following:

           1. Click the “Multi-Level Ordered List” button .

              The “List Library” dialogue displays.

              

              1. Select the type of list to apply.

        4. Your Donnelley Financial Solutions liaison can help to define client-specific paragraph types that produce the desired effect on text in project output. Use the drop-down list in the “Paragraph” section of the formatting ribbon to apply predefined types (e.g., “Disclaimer”, “Signature”, “Footnote”, “Introduction”, etc.) to a paragraph or list item.

           • The “Normal” paragraph type is applied to all text by default.
           • Paragraph types may be applied to any given paragraph or to any given item in an ordered or unordered list.
           • The type applied to any given paragraph/list item can be seen in the left margin of the text editing pane by using the type label toggler button .
        5. Use the “Toggle Format Symbols” button to show/hide text formatting symbols, such as hard and soft carriage returns, page breaks, etc.
        6. Use the “Toggle Paragraph Type Labels” button to show/hide the paragraph types applied to each paragraph/list item in the current text item.

        7. Click the “Align Left” button to left-align text.

           You can either place the cursor somewhere within a single paragraph or highlight some amount of text within a single paragraph or multiple paragraphs and click the button to left-align the paragraph(s) in which the text is contained.

        8. Click the “Center” button to center-align text.

           You can either place the cursor somewhere within a single paragraph or highlight some amount of text within a single paragraph or multiple paragraphs and click the button to center-align the paragraph(s) in which the text is contained.

        9. Click the “Align Right” button to right-align text.

           You can either place the cursor somewhere within a single paragraph or highlight some amount of text within a single paragraph or multiple paragraphs and click the button to right-align the paragraph(s) in which the text is contained.

        10. Click the “Justify Text” button to justify text.

            You can either place the cursor somewhere within a single paragraph or highlight some amount of text within a single paragraph or multiple paragraphs and click the button to justify the paragraph(s) in which the text is contained.

        11. Click the “Decrease Indent” button to decrease the indent level of the selected paragraph or list item.
        12. Click the “Increase Indent” button to increase the indent level of the selected paragraph or list item.

        13. Click the “Keep lines together” button to prevent a page break from occurring within the lines of the current paragraph in output.

            • You can either highlight some amount of text within a paragraph, or simply place your cursor somewhere within a paragraph, and select the “Keep lines together” option.
            • This setting does not impact the display of content in the text editing pane or in project preview; only in output.

            • Use the “Toggle Format Symbols” button to show/hide text formatting symbols in the text editing pane, including paragraphs where the “Keep lines together” setting is applied. The setting will be denoted with a square bullet in front of all impacted paragraphs, similar to Word.

              

        14. Use the “Paragraph Type” drop-down list to specify the paragraph or heading type of the paragraph(s) where text is highlighted, or in which your cursor is placed.

            • The specified type dictates how content in the paragraph will be rendered by the document processing service, according to predefined styles for your site.
            • The type of each paragraph displays at left of the paragraph when the “Toggle Paragraph Type Labels” button is set to show type labels.
            • The default type for all new text is “Normal”.

        15. Use the “Line Spacing” drop-down list to specify the paragraph line spacing in terms of “points per inch”.

            • You can either highlight some amount of text within a paragraph, or simply place your cursor somewhere within a paragraph, and set the “Line Spacing” value.
            • Default line spacing for text is defined during client implementation. A setting of “None” for any given paragraph (default setting) causes the predefined spacing to be used in project output for that paragraph. If the line spacing is set to anything other than “None” the specified setting will supersede the predefined spacing.
            • This setting does not impact the display of content in the text editing pane or in project preview; only in output.

        Editing & Proofing

        

        1. Use the “Find/Replace” button to find instances of a particular text string and replace them with some other text string.

           The “Find/Replace” dialogue displays.

           

        2. Click the “Toggle Spell Check” button to enable/disable spell-check functionality within the text editor.

           When enabled, misspelled terms will be shown with a red, zig-zag underline. The “Find Next Error” button will also be enabled for use.

           1. Right-click any identified misspelled term.

              A context menu displays, from which you may select a suggested replacement term (in bold text), add the term to the dictionary or ignore the current instance of the highlighted term.

              

           2. Choose an option from the context menu.

              1. Select any suggested replacement term in the menu (in bold text) to replace the misspelled term.

              2. Click “Add to Dictionary” to add the highlighted term to the custom dictionary for the specified language.

                 • Dictionaries are language-specific and machine-dependent. This means that multiple users on a single machine share the same custom dictionary; users on separate machines do not.
                 • Adding a word to the custom dictionary that was identified as incorrect allows you to continue to use that word, and Arc Suite spell check discontinues identifying that word as incorrect.
              3. Click “Ignore” if you want to ignore the current instance of the highlighted term.

              4. Click “Spelling…” if you want to ignore all instances of the highlighted term.

                 The “Spell checking” dialogue displays.

                 

                 1. Click the “Ignore All” button on the dialogue.
                 2. Click the “Close” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

                 This action will ignore all instances of the term within the current snippet, not instances in other text snippets.

           Spell check functionality supports multiple languages. Arc Suite uses the appropriate dictionary for the language specified in the user interface. The following languages (and corresponding codes) are currently supported:

           Language	Code
           Dutch	nl
           English (U.K.)	en-GB
           English (U.S.)	en-US
           French	fr
           German (Standard)	de
           German (Swiss)	de-CH
           Italian	it
           Spanish	es

           • The language dictionary Arc Suite uses depends on the supported languages outlined in the table above.

             • For text snippets and footnotes, if the specified language is not supported or if the text/footnote is set to “same for each language”, Arc Suite uses the English (U.S.) dictionary.
             • For projects, if the associated template is set to “one output containing multiple languages”, Arc Suite uses the English (U.S.) dictionary.
           • Prior to using this functionality, you should verify that the appropriate languages are added to the “Languages” tab of the text and footnote library(ies) in use, and to the “Settings” tab of the project template(s).
        3. Click the “Find Next Error” button to cause the next misspelled term after the current cursor location to be highlighted in the editor, and for the spell-check context menu to display (shown above).

        4. Click the “Undo” button to cause the last action performed in the text editor to be undone.

           1. Clicking the button repeated times will undo previous actions performed in the editor, one at a time.

           The keyboard keystroke combination of “Ctrl + z” also effects the Undo action.

        5. Click the “Redo” button to cause the last action taken on the current text item to be undone.

           1. Clicking the button repeated times will redo each “undone” action, one at a time.

           The keyboard keystroke combination of “Ctrl + y” also effects the Redo action.

        To better understand how project output can be impacted by leveraging different styles, table types and custom tags, click the “Style Guide” link on the page.

     Click the “Maximize view” button at lower-right of the page to maximize the editing area.

  5. Click the “Save” button at lower-right of the page.

  Importing financial footnote snippets

  As an alternative to manually adding financial statement footnotes one at a time via the associated application page, you can import multiple footnote snippets at once using an archive (ZIP) source file that contains one or more DOCX files representing the footnote(s) to import. Follow these steps to do so:

  1. Expand the ArcReporting “Financials” menu.

     1. Click the “Home” button at the top of the application window to return to the landing page.

     2. Select “ArcReporting” from the components list.

        

     3. Click the “Reporting Workspace” tab at lower-left of the screen.

        

     4. Click the “Financials” menu to view available items.

        If the “Account Period”, “Complex” and “Fund” relevant to the data you wish to view are not currently selected, choose them using the either selection button at upper-left of the screen or the selection bar across the top of the window.

        • Using the selection bar

          1. Click the “[Select Date]” text or “»” symbol.

             All open account periods associated with a project, and to which you have access, are displayed.

             

          2. Click the “[Select Complex]” text or “»” symbol.

             Complexes with projects associated with the specified date are displayed.

             

             If only one complex is available based on the specified date, the complex is automatically chosen.

          3. Click the “[Select Group]” text or “»” symbol.

             Groups associated with the specified complex with active projects for the specified date are displayed.

             

             Alternatively, you can specify “All Fund Groups”, which automatically fills in “All Funds” in the step below. Some pages in Arc Suite (e.g., “Fund Holdings”), allow you to view information for more than one fund simultaneously. If a page does not support multiple fund display, then no information displays when “All Fund Groups » All Funds” is specified.

             

             If only one fund group is available based on the specified complex, the group is automatically chosen.

          4. Click the “[Select Fund]” text or “»” symbol.

             Funds associated with the specified group with active projects for the specified date are displayed.

             

             Alternatively, you can specify “All Funds”.

             

             If only one fund is available based on the specified group, the fund is automatically chosen.

          When all elements of the fund selection bar are specified, you have several options available in terms of viewing different sets of data for open pages.

          

          • Change the specified date. The list of dates is filtered for active projects for the specified fund. Changing the date refreshes the data for all open pages.
          • Change the complex. Changing the complex resets the group, and you’ll need to return to Step 3 above.
          • Change the group. Changing the group resets the fund, and you’ll need to return to Step 4 above.
          • Change the fund. Changing the fund refreshes the data for all open pages.
          • Reset the fund selection bar. Click the “Reset” button at any time to return to Step 1 above.

        • Using the selection button

          1. Click the selection button at upper-left of the window.

             All open account periods associated with a project, and to which you have access, are displayed.

             

             If an account period has already been specified via the fund selection bar (see above), the list under the fund selection button automatically expands that date.

             

          2. Click the arrow at left of the desired account period to display the available complex(es) and associated fund group(s) and fund(s).
          3. Specify the “Complex”, “Fund Group” and “Fund” relevant to the project you wish to view.

  2. Click the “Footnote Libraries - General Ledger” item.

     The “Footnote Libraries - General Ledger” page displays.

     

  3. Click the “Footnotes” tab at right of the page.

  4. Click the “Import data” button at lower-right of the “Footnotes” tab, where existing footnotes are listed, to import data contained in your ZIP source archive.

     The “Snippet Import” dialogue displays.

     

     1. Select your import file using the “Browse” button at right of the “File” field.

        The specified ZIP archive must contain one or more DOCX files representing the footnote(s) to import.

     2. Use the “Language” drop-down list to specify the language for which the text of the imported snippets applies.

     3. Click the “Accept” button at lower-right of the dialogue.

        The records are imported to the database.
