After clicking the Iterate or Refine button on the Global-OPT dialog, the Excel window and Global-OPT dialog is hidden and the Iterating dialog is presented. The Iterating dialog has a Status Message, a Status box, Auto-Close checkbox, and Cancel and Copy buttons.
The Status message indicates the current state of the Iterate or Refine process. While busy, it has the text "Iterating". When the current process completes, it has the text "Iteration complete". It may also display the text "Iteration cancelled" or "Iteration abended".
The Status box displays progress messages while the current Iterate or Refine process is running with the most recent progress message at the top. After the current process completes, the contents of the Status box may be copied to the system clipboard by clicking the Copy button.
The Auto-Close checkbox instructs the Iterating dialog to automatically close when the current Iterate or Refine process ends. After the Iterating dialog closes, the Global-OPT dialog and Excel window become visible again.
Clicking the Cancel button prematurely terminates the current Iterate or Refine process.
The Copy button is enabled after the current Iterate or Refine process ends. Clicking the Copy button copies the contents of the Status box to the system clipboard.
