Several shortcuts can be used on the different sections of the page:
Clicking an item number in a result list causes the default action for that item to occur.
Clicking the icon next to an item displays a list of available actions for that item.

The columns to be displayed can be changed by editing a configuration file. See Appendix A, "Modifying Configuration Settings" for details.
In addition to these usage shortcuts, a parts submenu is also available.
