Shared GLNs:

1. From the GS1 US Data Hub main page, click Location on the top Navigation bar, then the View/Use link.

3. GLNs that match your criteria display as Shared on the main View/Use screen. Address information displays for each matching GLN.

To further narrow this search, use the two basic filters, GLN Type or GLN Type Status (you can select either "Active" or "Inactive"). Click the Filter icon button to display the different filter options, then click Apply Filters.

Note: Have a question for the GLN owner? Click "Message this Subscriber" to send a message to the GLN owner through GS1 US Data Hub.


The filter icon turns black on the View/Use screen when a filter setting is selected.
