The Show pane at the top left of the main window displays the playlists and groups that are part of your show and connected to a certain profile. The first tab is the pagelist with the name of the show, and the other tabs are playlists.

Each tab contains Groups (3), and each group contains the media elements for a story. When you select a group, the related media elements are loaded into the Media Column.
