In the Profiling perspective, the Tasks view lists all the tasks you create in Talend Studio and also those automatically generated, for example the Java tasks generated when executing the data quality Jobs.

You can create filters to decide what to list in the task view.

## Before you begin

At least one task is added to an item in Profiling perspective.

## Procedure
