On the left side, you can choose between two menu items: Nameservers and Hosts.
Managing Nameservers
In the Nameservers section, you can either select the OpusDNS internal nameservers (recommended) or use your own external nameserver setup. If you choose external nameservers, you must add at least two entries, such as ns1.customdomain.com and ns2.customdomain.com.
Managing Hosts
In the Hosts section, you can create glue records, where you can directly assign IP addresses to your nameservers.
Contacts Tab Fields
Clicking on the Contacts tab or the link in the contacts section of the overview will take you to the contacts configuration.

On the left side, you can choose between two three items: Records, DNSSEC and an Delete DNS Zone. Also you can manage your DNS Tags right here.

Please verify with your external nameserver provider whether DNSSEC is supported before enabling it, if you are using external nameservers.
