At the left, you can see the tables and other items in this project and the order they're in. Each of these items will have generated for and the details for the current item are being displayed on the right. Once an item has been finished, a check mark is drawn next to it.
The large memo control is the quick log and displays the progress as text messages and any errors that occur. After the process has finished, you can optionally save the log into the Advanced Data Generator database via the Save Log to Database button. A detailed explanation about projects log is available in the chapter Project Logs.
