All files within the system will appear in a Data Viewer when opened. Metadata and communication can be annotated within the Data Viewer. A user will be able to add, edit, and delete all metadata only until the user clicks the Save button.

There are two types of Data Viewers, each meant for different types of data:

  1. Video Player
  2. PDF & Image Viewer

Video Player
