What it is for

Most countries are already there when the product is installed. Predefined rows ship with the product and cannot be deleted; rows you add can.

Every field in plain words

General

How to configure it

The screen allows import, so a long list can be loaded from a file instead of typed. Which fields are required, greyed, hidden or pre-filled for a company is set on Organizational Structure Setting, in its Default Parameters grid, and one user can differ through User Parameter Value.
