The behaviour of the HeI λ10830 Å line profile in spectra of solar features is reviewed. The connection of line characteristics with various phenomena on the solar disc, such as plages (faculae), sunspots, jets, prominences, coronal holes, flares, fine structure and emission above the solar limb, is discussed. We present a short summary of the mechanisms for helium excitation in the solar chromosphere. Time variations of the line profile, observed in quiet and active regions, and HeI λ10830 Å absorption in the Sun as a star are discussed and compared with other indexes of solar activity. It is shown that the equivalent width of the helium line varies in an 11 year cycle and reflects the 27 day periodicity of the rotation of the Sun. It is also shown that the HeI line is a more sensitive index of activity than K-index.
