The Project Status dock window presents some general information of the current project.

Error packetsShows the total number of error packets since the capture started.
Packets capturedShows the total number of captured packets since the capture started.
Packets lostShows the number or percentage of lost packets.
Packets acceptedShows the number or percentage of packets matching the filters accepted for analysis, the progress bar displaying the proportion of the packets accepted in the total packets captured.
Packets rejectedShows the number or percentage of packets matching the filters excluded for analysis, the progress bar displaying the proportion of the packets rejected in the total packets captured.
Buffer usageShows the buffer memory used so far in packet capture as a number or percentage, and graphically by a progress bar which fills more of the width of the display as memory is used: when 80% of the capture buffer is used, the color of the bar changes from blue to yellow, eventually showing red as memory use approaches 100%. 

The items Packets lost, Packets accepted, Packets rejected and Buffer usage can be displayed either as value (by default) or percentage, you can select from the context menu with a right click. In addition, with double clicks on the Packet filters, Packets accepted and Packets rejected item, Colasoft Capsa will open the Project Settings - Filter page, or Project Settings - General page for the Buffer usage item, in which you can modify the settings of filter or buffer usage.

The Project Status window can be hidden and its position is alterable, please see "Dock windows" for more information.
