The upper part of the product, you can choose from the list - SharePoint Foundation 2010, SharePoint Server 2010 or Office 365. After you select the right product, you can select one of the 10 tasks to be performed, while in the right pane will appear parameters which need to be filled.

You can also make scripts by dragging keywords to the left of panels in the appropriate fields right pane. The order of the drag is not important (you can start with Verbs and Nouns).
