Right-click or press and hold on the button and open the Current simulation sub-menu. Choose the DOP network you want the shelf tools to affect.

Create a new DOP network at the Scene level

Right-click or press and hold on the button and choose Create new simulation.

Note: if it does not already exist, the shelf tools will create a new DOP network at the scene level called AutoDopNetwork automatically. So it is only necessary to use this command if you want additional DOP networks for some reason.

This command creates a new numbered AutoDopNetwork DOP network node at the scene level.
