This panel has been added to give you an idea of the current state of your " MultiJoint " simulation. All relevant parameters are listed here. The force-related values are of particular interest, because they will help you to adjust an appropriate "@ Max force" value for your simulation.

...

This is the total number of individual joints, a " MultiJoint " consists of.

@ Processed

Here you can see the number of joints which are currently processed at the same time during calculation. If this value is very high and your simulation is slow, you should consider using "Limit processed joints" under the "Creation" panel.

@ Joint groups number

Within a " MultiJoint " there are groups of joints connecting particular body pairs. From here on, we will refer to such a group as a joint group. This value indicates the total number of joint groups inside the " MultiJoint". In other words: this is the number of linked body pairs.

@ Active

If a " MultiJoint " itself is inactive, then none of its joint groups are active. When you delete a body or change its dynamics mode then all joint groups associated to this body will be set to inactive. "@ Active" indicates the number of currently active joint groups.

...

Collisions between all body pairs are not always processed. You can choose to exclude the collisions between certain bodies or even disable them when creating a " MultiJoint". The parameter shows you the number of joint groups whose corresponding body pairs are allowed to collide.

...

Here you can see the maximum force that has been exerted by an individual link in the " MultiJoint " during the last calculation.
