The Select Box Data XML File

The Select Box Data XML file is a tree-based collection of elements and child elements. You can populate fields in any profile screen with elements or child elements in a Select Box Data XML file. After creating the XML file, you can import it using Import Select Box Data task in the User Console.

Note: Attribute names are case-sensitive in XML.
