Rivet Software, a provider of standards-based business reporting and analytics for financial communications, has announced the release of Dragon View 5.0, a tool that allows users to view and review XBRL-based documents.

Dragon View is based on the same Rivet-developed technology used to power the Security and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Interactive Data Viewer, which provides a familiar end-user experience and allows users to see what their filings will look like on the SEC site before they are submitted. Users based in any location can access the most recent SEC filings and download them instantly for comparison and analysis. Specifically, users who use Dragon View will have the following key benefits:

Review SEC Company Filings. Executives can easily view their SEC filings and then benchmark them against the filings of other companies. Additionally, Dragon View allows users to compare chosen tagging elements with those used by other filers prior to submission.

Export Data into Excel. With one click, Dragon View provides users the ability to download XBRL data into Excel for easy review and comparison. Users can then filter the information to create charts and key ratios for internal or external analysis and distribution.

Create Easy-to-Read Online Reports. Posting company filings online is an SEC requirement for all publicly traded companies. Dragon View makes this information more easily consumable by a variety of stakeholders by transforming XBRL filings into an HTML "reporting book" that viewers can not only access, but easily read.

Multi-language Support. Since XBRL is a global standard used to tag data regardless of taxonomy or languages, Dragon View has been built to support users worldwide.
