# Custom review states in the Data Viewer

Up to five form-level customizable states, called Review States, are available in the Data Viewer in addition to the standard InForm states. These states are defined by a system administrator using MedML. For more information, see Defining custom review states.

If defined, the customized review states can provide you with greater flexibility in tracking the review progress.

Note: The custom review states can be assigned and used only in the Data Viewer.

Each custom review state has three customizable stages. For example, an administrator can add two custom review states, labeled Medical Review and Data Management Review, each with three stages of Needs Review, Pending, and Reviewed.

- Review state: Medical Review
  - Stage 1: Needs Review (Default)
  - Stage 2: Pending
  - Stage 3: Reviewed
- Review state: Data Management Review
  - Stage 1: Needs Review (Default)
  - Stage 2: Pending
  - Stage 3: Reviewed

A custom review state is in one of its three stages at any time. The first stage is the default stage for a defined custom review state that is applied before any reviewer’s assignment of other review stages.

The custom review states and stages are installed with available product locales and they appear in the Data Viewer in the user's Product Locale.
