If you filter by any of the columns, they will appear as buttons just above the list. You can also use these buttons to disable the filters.

At the bottom of the window, the sum of the values in the columns is displayed.

If you have filtered a column and sorted the search results, the list will not be updated if you change a value, such as the number of parcels. This also applies once you have saved the new number of packages. The search results will not be updated until you filter or sort the list again.
The above applies only to columns containing free-text values, not to columns that retrieve values from a register (for example, Resource), or when you use the special filters under Filter show rows with value that.
