All the fields on this panel are explained in the "ISPF Libraries and Data Sets" topic of the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I, except List ID, which is explained in List data sets, "Additional input libraries", which is explained in Input data sets, and here:

Assembler Options: Be careful not to enter the OBJECT and LIST options in this field. ISPF generates these options automatically. OBJECT writes the output object module to a partitioned data set. LIST writes the output listing to a list data set. See Object data sets and List data sets for more information.
Assembler: Enables you to specify whether to use High Level Assembler or Assembler H. Specify 1 for High Level Assembler or 2 for Assembler H.
