Click on the 'Pencil Icon' in the Title Bar (right below the menu). This will start the Jetspeed Customizer.

They are the portlet instance ids, which are automatically assigned to the portlet.
This id uniquely identifies your portlet instance in the entire portal site.
Portlet Instances, are instances of the your portlet on a PSML page.
The two different instances use the same Java class instance,
which saves memory, however they use different parameters and state,
which is important when you have two or more instances of the same portlet on a page.
