The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 48 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 16 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.
How to read the label
ABCD3_oI48_73_d_c_c_cf-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oI48, then the space-group number 73, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (C: 8c; K: 8c; O: 8c; Ag: 8d; O: 16f). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
