| Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group | The peer group used for calculating Peer Group Total Shareholder Return is the S&P Software & Services Select Industry Index as of June 30 of each year presented, assuming an initial fixed $100 investment on June 30, 2020. For the year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we used the S&P 1500 Application Software Index as our published industry or line-of-business index for purposes of the performance graph required under Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. In our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, for purposes of the performance graph required under Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K, we replaced the S&P 1500 Application Software Index with the S&P Software & Services Select Industry Index as our published industry or line-of-business index, as we believe the S&P Software & Services Select Industry Index represents a more appropriate peer group. Set forth below are comparisons of our cumulative TSR to the cumulative TSR of the S&P Software & Services Select Industry Index and the S&P 1500 Application Software Index as of June 30 of each year presented, assuming an initial fixed $100 investment on June 30, 2020.
