Bubbles inside some "Things"

Hello all,
wondering if someone can tell me what tell me what the bubble means in some “Things”. In the attached photo, there seems to be 3 bubbles that I can click on. When I click on one of them, it highlights orange and the other 2 go gray, but I have no idea what it is actually doing. In this photo, the “62” has the highlighted orange bubble and “closed” and “inactive” are greyed out. What is this actually doing?
