1. From the iSeries Navigator window, expand the server from which you want to work.
2. Expand Basic Operations.
3. To display messages for the server that you selected, click Messages. This displays all the messages for your user profile.
4. From the menu bar, select Options > Include.
5. Click the button at the right of the Messages for field to display the Messages for dialog box.
6. Select the appropriate option to display messages for the current user, the system operator, or another user's message queue.
   Note: If you want to display messages for another user's queue, you must specify the user name. To see a list of all users on the system, click Browse > select the user name from the list shown to display the message queue.
7. Click OK to return to the Include dialog box.
8. (Optional) You can limit the messages that are displayed by severity. Severity ratings numerically identify the extent of a problem. To display messages with a minimum severity rating (0-99), enter a specific numeric value in the Lowest severity to show field.
