I wondered how many of you knew these were available ;-) From the Help file:
Ancestor and Descendant Interest The two fields in the bottom right corner of the Information window are used to express your interest level in the ancestors and descendants of the current individual. The value can range from 0 to 3. 0 indicates no interest. Use 1 for Low interest, 2 for Medium and 3 for high interest. These values can be used in the search section to compile lists of those people with whom you have an interest. __________ As I said, I don't use them but if you get lost in your file or keep going off on tangents and realise you've spent valuable time on people barely connected to your tree, you might want to think how these could help you. You could use them to plan 2014 research for example. Which people do you particularly want to focus on? I suggest you use your imagination. They're fields that can be searched on which makes them valuable.
