# Editing the Global Location

The Global location sets rules for POS locations that apply unless you choose to override them when you add or edit a region, franchise or store.

To edit the Global Location (see links below to edit other location types):

- Access **Applications > POS Back Office > Locations**.
- Locate the Global icon on the left side of the window, right-click it and select **Edit**. This opens the Edit Global Location form.
