You can see there:
List of all objects

The list of actions in the order of appearance on the screenshot of the PfxMetadata toolbar.
Select module - used to decide which connection config file (config.json) should be used. Each module/project can have its own connection config file. The toolbar will either use the connection config file found in the selected module, or (if not found), from the project.
Reload - reload the metadata from partition. Useful, when you deployed some new tables to the partition in the meantime, which are not reflected in the list yet.
Expand All - expand details of all objects types at once.
Collapse All - collapse details of all objects types at once.
Environment - select the environment from list defined in the connection config file.
Partition - select partition (from list of partitions available in the selected environment), from which the tool should read the metadata.
Search by Text– Allows you to search by a substring across object names, table names, field names and labels.
