You use the Site Terms Editor module to create and manage site terms. A site term is a data type that you create. It is a list of specific values, called terms, that are pertinent to your site. You use a site term to assign this list of values to a property as an attribute.
For example, if you create a site term for favorite color, you provide a list of the colors from which users can select their favorite color. The "Favorite Color" site term restricts color choice to the colors you include. This requires users who favor variations of purple, such as mauve, violet, or lavender, to choose purple.
You use site terms to:
In a form on your Web site, site terms are presented to users as list boxes.
You use site term groups to organize site terms in the Site Terms Editor. For example, if you have 50 site terms, and you use 10 to collect information about what products a user likes, 20 to collect information about what kind of lifestyle a user has, and 20 more to collect information about the opinions a user has about current events; you could then create a site term group called Products for the product preference site terms, a site term group called Lifestyle for the lifestyle site terms, and a site term group called Opinions for the opinion site terms.
