With this dialog box the device model library  can be manipulated, browsed and a desired model can be selected to be used in the schematic.

If the dialog box is opened via the block selection tree, all available device models are shown. If it is opened via the context menu of a selected device in the block selection pane, only those models of the selected device type are shown.
