Data Standards Browser (Browser) is a user interface for the CDISC Library. CDISC Library account holders can log into the Browser with their existing credentials. Upon logging in, users will be greeted by a landing page that allows access to available CDISC standards. The Browser content is represented visually by the same underlying linked metadata available through API.

With the Browser, CDISC Library users can:

• Select which standard to review in more detail by searching or traversing through its hierarchy;
• Provides clear relationship delineations across and within standards;
• Apply filters at the result level to further refine focus of search;
• Export content at the product level into supported file formats;
• Review draft contents prior to their publication;
• Download a diff report for comparing a versioned standard to its predecessor.
• Access QRS instrument's metadata and download an Excel export.

• Exports are available at the top level of each versioned standard.

Diff

• Diff report is downloadable through the Export button. For example, to download a diff report between SDTM CT Q1 2021 and its immediate predecessor,  SDTM SDTM CT Q4 2020:

• Depending on the browser setting, a diff report will either be automatically downloaded when it is ready; or, a dialog box to acknowledge a file download may be needed.
• Please note only diff reports of two successive versions are supported through the Browser. Use the API for downloading diff reports of skipped versions, such as SDTMIG v3.4 vs. SDTMIG v3.2 (skipping v3.3). Refer to Diff for technical details.
