!!! info
    Complete [[tutorials-document-management-scenario-create-organize-documents]] first. This scenario uses the internal document created there, for example `Doc_Internal`. For more information, see:

    * [[tutorials-howto-viewdocument]]

    * [[user-guide-view-material-documents]]

## Sequence of Steps

### 1. Configure Material Document Context

1. In the left side menu, select **Administration**.
2. From the Administration panel, select **Tables**.
3. In the left side panel, select **Smart Tables**.
4. In the search box, write `MaterialDocumentContext`.
5. Select **MaterialDocumentContext**.

    The **Material Document Context** page opens. A new environment has no records.

    ![Empty Material Document Context page.](images/material_track_in_material_document_context_empty.png)

6. In the top ribbon, select **Add**.
7. Select the **Step**. For example, `Mixing`.
8. Select the **Product**. For example, `Belgas`.
9. Set the **Operation** to `TrackIn`, so that the MES presents the document only for that transaction.
10. Select the **Document** to display. For example, `Doc_Internal`.
11. Select **Add**.

    ![Add Material Document Context Record(s) wizard with Step, Product, Operation, and Document filled.](images/material_track_in_material_document_context_add.png)

The MES confirms the operation, and the new record appears in the **Material Document Context** list.

!!! info
    If you leave **Operation** empty, the MES presents the document across the transactions of that Step. To present a set of documents, select a **Document Group** instead of a **Document**. If several records match the same material, the MES applies the most specific record.

1. In the **Material Document Context** list, select the **Step** link of the new record. For example, `Mixing`.
2. Select **Open in New Page**.

### 2. Perform Track-In

1. Open the Step. For example, `Mixing`.
2. Select a material of the configured Product that is in state `Queued`. For example, `Cookie02`. The **Details** panel on the right lists the documents that match the context.
3. In the **Transaction** group of the ribbon, select **Dispatch and Track-In**.

4. In the **Dispatch and Track-In Material** wizard, select a resource.
5. Select **Next**.

6. In the **Documents** wizard, check the content of the document. Scroll through the document to read it.
7. Select **Track-In**.

    ![Documents step of the Dispatch and Track-In Material wizard with the document content.](images/material_track_in_track_in_documents_step_document.png)

    The MES dispatches and tracks in the material.

    ![Confirmation that the material was dispatched and tracked in successfully.](images/material_track_in_track_in_completed.png)

### 3. View the Document

The document stays available while the MES processes the material.

1. In the `Mixing` step page, select the Material that you tracked in. For example, `Cookie02`.
2. In the top ribbon, in the **Documents** group, select **View**.

    ![View action in the Documents group of the ribbon.](images/material_track_in_material_view_documents_action.png)

    The **View Material Documents** wizard opens and shows the document.

    ![View Material Documents window with the document.](images/material_track_in_material_view_documents_window.png)

3. Select **Close**.

## Expected Result

After you complete this scenario, the **Documents** step of the **Dispatch and Track-In Material** wizard shows the document for materials that match the context. You can also open the Document at any time with **View** while the material is in process.
