Adding a New Property Group to a Profile Definition

You can create new property groups to organize the properties. 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.
2. In the profile designer screen, click Add.
3. In the Add dialog box, select the Add a new group option, and then click OK.
