•Configuration: opens the Configuration window for the selected object.

•Delete object: removes the selected object.

•New Window from this place: opens a new FSE Management Console client instance in which the properties of the currently selected object are displayed in the right pane.

•Properties: opens the Properties window for the selected object.
