Importing Country Metadata
Introduction
If you have activated a country to use the country in the system, it is possible to import the country-related metadata from the xml folder in the installation directory by clicking under the Metadata column in the overview of countries. For more information on activating a country, see Overview of Countries. Country metadata refers to data about the specific country. For instance, it can be the states and the public holidays of the country. By importing the metadata, you can use the data in your database.
