These controls are commonly displayed on all tabs in the management panel:

Toolbar Buttons: Toolbar buttons enable operations related to the items on the tab.
-
Items Table: Items corresponding to the tab header are displayed in a table. For example, locations are listed in tabular format on the Locations tab.
