The following explains the columns on the Account History and Summary pages:

Filing Transactions
On your Account Summary page you can file your transactions so they no longer
display on the page. This is helpful for keeping track of recent transactions.
The transactions will still be stored on your Account History page. To file
transactions, check off the box by your items under 'File' and then click on
the 'File Selected Items' button.
Displaying Only Your Site Transactions
On both Account pages, you can make your table only show transactions made
on your site by checking the box by 'View only orders made at [Your
Site Name Here]'. Uncheck it to show all orders again.
If you have several [host.name] sites, only transactions made on the site you
are on will show with this option.
