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.

Review forms
Review forms let you capture reviewer feedback about an application. You’ll build the review form like you would any other, then associate it with a workflow.
