    !!! info
	      This tab is very similar to the Schedule Tab available in the Schedule page. For more information, see [[user-guide-schedule-page]].

* Unplanned Materials - displays a list of **Materials** currently on the **Step** but outside the defined **Schedule**.

## Step View Tab

:lock: BusinessData.NavigationPane

:lock: Manufacturing.fabExplorer

:lock: Step.Show

:lock: UIPage.Show

The Step View tab lists all the **Materials** currently at that **Step**, as well as their state:

You can filter the results displayed in the Step View tab by State, **Product**, **Flow**, or **Material** Name, or choose to display only **Qualification Materials**. **Materials** associated with [[user-guide-qualification-check-index|Qualification Checks]] are identified by the :mes-entitytypes-qualificationcheck-lg: icon and by the number of associated **Qualification Checks** displayed alongside it.

If a **Material** has been prepared for Setup, this information will also be visible in this tab under the Required Setup column:

![Screenshot showing a setup process for a step view.](images/step_view_setup_materials.png)

When the **Materials** are waiting for an **Experiment** in the **Step**, a lock badge will appear in the column next to **Material**. Clicking on it will display a pop-over message, as shown in the image below.

Moreover, a list of the **Resources** that will be used to process **Materials** on that particular **Step** can also be displayed:

![Screenshot showing a screenshot of a step view with unclear content.](images/step_view_resources.png)

If a **Resource** is undergoing a [[user-guide-qualification-check-index]], it is identified by the :mes-entitytypes-qualificationcheck-lg:{ class="twemoji blue-icon" } icon, along with the number of associated **Qualification Checks**. The :core-static-pendingcircle-sm:{ class="twemoji yellow-icon" } icon indicates the number of pending **Qualification Checks**.

To refresh the information for a specific category, select the refresh button in the corresponding category box. This action refreshes only that category and does not reload the entire page.
