This shows the profile name (or description if it has no name) and a switch on the right shows whether the profile is enabled or not.
Important: the switch being set to on does not mean the profile is active (will run its tasks), it means that the profile can become active if its conditions are met.
On the left hand side of the profile are an icon and text for each context in the profile. The contexts dictate when the profile should become active. When all contexts are active then the profile will be active.
You can configure what clicks and long-clicks on contexts do in Menu / Prefs / UI.
On the right hand side of the profile are one or two tasks to carry out based on its activation status.
A task indicated with a green, right-pointing arrow is an entry task, executed when the profile first becomes active.
A task indicated with a red, left-pointing arrow is an exit task, executed when the profile becomes inactive again.
Exception: a profile containing an event context or a repeating or non-ranged time context has two green arrows, to denote that both tasks are executed immediately because the profile activation and deactivation is instantaneous.
Click on the Profiles tab when it is already selected for general profile-related options such as sorting.
Note that a profile can be assigned an anonymous task (one without a name) which is not accessible in the task list, only via the relevent profile in the profile list.
Click on the Tasks tab when it is already selected for general task-related options such as sorting.
Scenes with a green name have been created but may be invisible (hidden).
Click on the Scenes tab when it is already selected for general scene-related options such as sorting.
The Variables tab is not shown if Beginner Mode is enabled.
By default, all global user-variables that Tasker knows about are listed, which includes any that have a value set or are mentioned somewhere in a profile, task or scene.
Note that variables whose names are all lower-case are local variables and not shown because they are only valid within the task that refers to them.
Click on the Vars tab when it is already selected for general variable-related options such as sorting and filtering.
The filter controls function as follows:
%LOC3, otherwise they are excluded.
In a user-created project, only variables referenced by that project are shown.
Unlike most screens in Tasker, changes made in the variable list cannot be cancelled.
Save and apply any changes which have been made without exiting the UI.
This is unnecessary prior to leaving the UI via the back button or home key, it's just for convenience when testing changes.

Tasker allows organisation of profiles, tasks, scenes and variables into groups called Projects, each with a separate Project Tab.
The projects tabs are hidden in Beginner Mode.
The first tab has a slightly special status, it cannot be removed and anything which is not a member of another project is placed there.
