Editing Microsoft 365 Location Types

  • Last updated on

Editing Microsoft 365 location types only affects the Microsoft 365 Protection page. Location types are displayed on the Microsoft 365: Login Events map. Giving location types meaningful names can help you understand data faster.

Location types displayed on the Microsoft 365: Login Events map on the Microsoft 365 Protection page. Location types are represented by different color dots.

Example

An example of the use of location types would be if you want to identify remote employees of a specific office quickly. In this case, you could change the location types of the locations of remote employees to categorize them together.

For example, if the office is in New York, you could change the following locations to New York Remote and assign them a color:

  • United States > New York > Albany

  • United States > New York > South Salem

  • United States > New York > Farmingdale

Changing these three locations to the New York Remote location type would mean they are displayed on the Microsoft 365: Login Events map with the same label and in the same color, letting you identify them at a glance.
