    - LDC #138: Using Legato to Ease the Creation of 8-K Cover Pages - Novaworks Weblog
      The SEC recently updated the requirements for what information should be included on a number of the cover pages for their forms. GoFiler already has templates for a lot of common forms like the 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K, but I had an idea that would eventually make creating these cover pages even easier than they already are by putting the power of Legato to work. The current templates simply create a blank cover page with empty areas to enter data in the Page View edit window. My script will prompt the user to provide the information in a simple form when they create the document and automatically place that data on the cover page.
    - LDC #131: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 4: Dialog - Novaworks Weblog
      It?s time to finish up our full script for our Section 16 data scraper. In the first three parts of this series we completed a base script that would go out to the SEC?s website, download all of the filings from a particular CIK, cache all of the Section 16 filings, find all of the reported transactions, put those transactions into a CSV file, and then read all of those transactions and figure out which of those transactions are current holdings. This week we are going to finish up by creating a dialog and adding our script functionality into the dialog.
    - LDC #129: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 3: Analysis - Novaworks Weblog

This week we are going to finish up the base functionality by reading through all of the transactions and finding the current holdings. Additionally we are going to perform a large amount of refactoring as well as add in the functionality to look at reported holdings.
    - LDC #122: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 2: Aggregation - Novaworks Weblog
      A few weeks ago we started building a Section 16 Data Scraper with the intention of a user being able to enter a CIK and Legato downloading all of the CIK’s Section 16 filings, putting the data together into a spreadsheet, and then being able to start a Section 16 filing by using that data as an entry point. At the end of the last post we had a script that would go out and download all of a singular CIK’s filings. It would also cache any filings it saw so that we were only downloading each individual filing once. This week we are going to continue onward and code a system to scrape useful data out of the filings and put it together into a CSV file.
    - LDC #117: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 1: Collection - Novaworks Weblog
      If you are not familiar with the term Section 16, Section 16 is a section of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In fact, it is section 16 of the act. Section 16 is a way to attempt to mitigate insider trading at companies. It states that any person who is a director of the company, an officer of the company, or a 10% or more beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, they must file Forms 3, 4, and 5. These forms report the level of equity interests whenever a significant change occurs. The terms that you will see referenced here are reporting owner, who is the person of interest here, and issuer, who is the company that in which the reporting owner has equity.
    - LDC #111: Back To The Log - Novaworks Weblog

This blog assumes that you have read the previous blog and understand the basics of the log object.

      One feature GoFiler doesn’t have natively is the ability to have multiple currency types for a single fact in XBRL. Well, we can add support for that using Legato! The new functionality will be achieved by combining two different XFR files.
    - LDC #32: XBRL Merger, Part 2 - Novaworks Weblog
      The previous post covered how to prompt the user for a pair of files, checked to make sure those files were valid XFR files that we could actually access, and finally made sure that they weren't the same files.
