How to Add a Property Group to a Profile Definition

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

You can create new property groups to organize the properties in your profile definitions. For example, if you add 50 properties to a user profile definition that relate to four different categories, such as lifestyle, opinion, education, and preferences, you can create four property groups, one for each category, and arrange the properties that belong to each category in the appropriate property group. You can choose to show or hide the properties for each property group.

  1. Expand Commerce Server Manager, expand Global Resources, expand Profiles, expand Profile Catalog, expand Profile Definitions, and then click the profile definition to which you want to add a property group.

  3. In the Add dialog box, select Add a new group, and then click OK.
