Modify message attributes

You can modify the text of the message that appears in your browser. Some attributes are modified from the Properties dialog box and some only from the shortcut menu. After you modify an unowned message, you become the owner of the message. Attributes you can modify include:

• Annotation
• Message text
• Severity

To modify message attributes

1. In the message browser, select the message you want to modify.
2. Right-click the message to open the shortcut menu.

   To modify severity, select Change Severity to open a shortcut menu. Select Critical, Major, Minor, Warning, or Normal to change the severity of the selected message.

   To modify annotation or message text for a selected message, select Properties from the shortcut menu to open the Message Properties dialog box. If you prefer, you can select the attribute you want to change from the shortcut menu and go directly to that tab in the Properties dialog box.

3. Modify one or more attributes using the tabs in the dialog box.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box. Your changes are immediately applied to the selected message and are visible to other users.
5. Click Cancel to close the dialog box without saving your changes.
