the crafting-monitor is to see what your ME-network is crafting at the moment or if something is missing (like iron to craft ref. iron).

did you just connect furnaces and a auto-CT to your ME-network? the only thing you can do with just connecting is using import/export-busses (export INTO the mashine from above, import OUT OF the mashine on the left side) - auto-CT have their output on the top!

if you really want to auto-craft with your ME-network, you need the "ME molecular assembler chamber", some "ME interfaces" and "blank patterns". the ME-interfaces work as conenction between ME and the mashine you want to use.

example: you want to autocraft "refined iron", which is made by putting 1 iron into a (electric) furnace (i know you know that, just for the example :) ).

1. get yourself 1 blank pattern and the "ME Pattern encoder". put the blank pattern into the right slot of the encoder, 1 iron in the left field and 1 refined iron in the middlefield. you teach the pattern that 1 refined iron is made out of 1 iron.

2. connect 1 ME Interface with your electric furnace (you should use the Induction Furnace, its way faster without overclocker-upgrades and less EU is needed) by putting the interface above the furnace.

3. connect the left side of the furnace with an IMPORT-bus, right click on it and change the "stack mode" from "single item" to "stack of item" to pump out faster

4. right-click on the interface above the furnace and put the Pattern you encoded into the lower line ("processing")

5. connect everything with your ME-network

Now, if you have no more ref. iron left in your ME-network, in your "ME acces/craft terminal" (not the "crafting monitor"!) you have the option to craft ref. iron in the number you wish.

please note that this is for crafting raw-materials - the ones which need a machine. if you want to craft, lets say, a "machine block" (made out of 8 ref. iron) the pattern you create need to be put into the "assembler chamber", not into a craffting-table (its possible too, but why?^^)

if you knew all that and i just did not understand you question i hope i was able to help someone else
