What Are Site Terms?

A site term is a set of valid values, sometimes known as a domain of values, which are used in conjunction with the Commerce Server Core Systems Profiles System. Site terms can be grouped into categories called a site term group. Site term groups make it easy to locate and edit site terms in the Commerce Server Manager.

Commerce Server Core Systems installs the following site term groups by default.
