Interests categories serve as a broad filtering mechanism within the application. Unlike the exact specificity of Triggers within your Trigger list, alerts issued under a given Interests category to which you select (subscribe) will be received regardless of the headline or body content. These predefined categories are created by KOMO-TV and accessed via the Interests tab as shown.

Interests category names are displayed in alphabetical order grouped by selected and unselected category names. To make changes to the default set of interest categories, simply click on the Edit Interests button, then select a predefined category by checking the selection box to the left of the category name.

Once checked, the categories will now become active by selecting the Save Changes button.

Note any changes you may have made while open for edit can be voided or cleared entirely by selecting Discard Changes or Clear All, respectively.

Over time, as new Interests categories become available, you may be notified of their availability via an alert popup.

New categories will generally be introduced as unsubcribed by default, so you'll need to explicity select the new category name to receive alerts under the new category.
