Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1. Basis of Presentation Daktronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Daktronics”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) are the world's industry leader in designing and manufacturing electronic scoreboards, programmable display systems and large screen video displays for sporting, commercial and transportation applications. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from those estimates. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet at May 1, 2021, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but it does not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended May 1, 2021, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Daktronics, Inc. operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, with our fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to April 30 of each year. When April 30 falls on a Wednesday, the fiscal year ends on the preceding Saturday. Within each fiscal year, each quarter is comprised of 13-week periods following the beginning of each fiscal year. In each 53-week year, an additional week is added to the first quarter, and each of the last three quarters is comprised of a 13-week period. The six months ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, contained operating results for 26 weeks. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the totals of the same amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents held in bank deposit accounts to secure issuances of foreign bank guarantees.

Other Business Developments - Coronavirus Pandemic During fiscal 2021, the global spread of the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") and resulting restrictions negatively impacted our business and created significant volatility, uncertainty and global economic disruption. We took proactive steps to solidify our financial position and mitigate any adverse consequences. Our orders and sales decline in fiscal 2021 are largely the result of the impacts of the pandemic. To align our expenses to the change in the market, we reduced investments in capital assets, reduced executive pay and board member compensation for fiscal 2021 and instituted initiatives to reduce other costs in the business. On April 1, 2020, our board of directors voted to suspend stock repurchases under our share repurchase program and to suspend dividends. In addition, throughout fiscal 2021, we temporarily furloughed employees to manage our cost structure to align with decreased demand. A special voluntary retirement and voluntary exit incentive program ("Offering") and two reductions in force ("RIFs") were instituted during the first six months of fiscal 2021 to adjust our capacity and reduce on-going expenses in response to the reduced revenue and uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, 60 employees agreed to participate in the Offering and completed employment. The approximate cost of this Offering was $931 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Under the RIFs, employment was terminated with 108 employees with severance totaling $1,426 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 150 employees with severance totaling $2,742 during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. We received governmental wage subsidies from various governmental programs related to COVID implications of $280 and $1,378 during the six months ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively and recorded the subsidies as a reduction of compensation expense, most of is included in the "Costs of sales" line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We also have elected to defer payments of the employer portion of social security taxes during the payroll tax deferral period, which ended on December 31, 2020. As of October 30, 2021, the total amount of such deferral was $5,122, which is included in the "Accrued expenses" in the current liabilities and in the "Other long-term obligations" line items in long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Per the terms of the deferral program, 50 percent of the deferred amount is due on December 31, 2021, with the remaining 50 percent due on December 31, 2022. The pandemic continues to evolve, as evidenced by the recent Omicron variant reports, impacting economic and business conditions. We continue to monitor guidance from international and domestic authorities regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and may take additional actions based on their requirements and recommendations. Since late fiscal 2021, our order and quoting activities have increased, creating a strong backlog and positive outlook; however, there is no assurance that this trend will continue in future quarters. Supply chain disruptions continue as a result of several factors including the pandemic, shipping container shortages, labor shortages, and the changes in global demand. Specifically, we are impacted by the global shortage of semiconductors and related electronic components, labor and other materials needed for production, and freight availability. We have experienced increased input costs including material, freight, and tariff costs and increased personal spend through the first half of the fiscal year. We expect continued disruptions in obtaining material, labor, and freight availability and an increase in inflation as the world economies react to and recover from the pandemic, which may cause volatility in our pricing, order and revenue cycles and production costs. In addition, regulatory requirements like those proposed by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"), may increase on-going compliance costs. ﻿ Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 1, 2021. Accounting Standards Adopted There are no significant Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs") issued that we adopted in the six months ended October 30, 2021.
