Article summary

You can display applicant data in the Reader in a variety of ways, including:

Data containers

Data containers let you use Configurable Joins to pull far-flung data and documents into one place in the reader.

Reader portals

You can embed portals in the reader. This lets you improve the reader experience with conditional logic to display conditional, populate tables with query data, and personalize data with Liquid markup.

Custom PDF

You can also display data from a Slate-hosted application or form response in the Reader with a custom PDF. They can also be used to display the data from an application form widget like the address, reference, or school widget.

📖 Custom PDFs

Auto PDF

Another PDF option is an Auto PDF, which dynamically assembles applicant data as a PDF. The elastic nature of auto PDFs eliminates the risk of gaps or truncation, giving you a polished and professional display that accurately represents the data you've collected.
