# About the Data Viewer

The Data Viewer is a standard feature in the InForm application that provides Clinical Data Managers (CDMs) and other InForm users with a real-time overview of clinical study data across visits and sites. You can use the Data Viewer to facilitate the cleaning of data, to look for patterns in data, and to identify items that may be anomalies.

Use the Data Viewer to:

- Compare items on the same type of forms.
- Compare two forms side-by-side.
- View data from multiple clinical forms in one custom view.
- Perform InForm actions on one or more forms, such as freezing, locking, and source verifying.
- View and issue queries on clinical data.
- Review form and item comments.
- Export data and comments.
- Use review states for custom review workflows.

The Data Viewer is installed as part of the InForm software installation. To use the features in the Data Viewer, you must have access rights to the Data Viewer as well as rights to perform certain tasks. For details on the XML associated with the Data Viewer rights, see the Utilities Guide.
