# Displaying Data in the Reader

You can display applicant data in the [Reader](/v1/docs/reader-overview) in a variety of ways, including:

## Data containers

**Data containers** let you use Configurable Joins to pull varying data points and documents into one place in the reader.

📖 [Data containers](/v1/docs/data-containers)

## Reader portals

Embedding **portals** in the reader lets you improve the reader experience with using conditional logic, populating tables with query data, and personalizing data with Liquid markup.

📖 [Portals in Reader](/v1/docs/portals-in-reader)

## Custom PDF

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

📖 [Custom PDFs](/v1/docs/custom-pdf)

## Auto PDF

An **Auto PDF,** dynamically assembles applicant data into a PDF format. The dynamic nature of auto PDFs, give you a polished and professional display that accurately represents the data you've collected.

📖 [Auto PDF](/v1/docs/auto-pdf)

## Cluster reports

**Cluster reports** can be embedded in Reader tabs and are used to show aggregates of applicant data such as historical data about applicant’s school, territory, or major.

📖 [Cluster reports in reader](/v1/docs/display-cluster-reports-in-reader)

## Review forms

**Review forms** all reviewers to capture feedback about an application. The [review form](/v1/docs/workflow-review-forms) is built just like other forms but has a scope of Reader and is associated with a workflow.
